John Piper

"Who do you think has the deepest, most satisfying joy in life, the man who pays $140 for a fortieth-floor suite downtown and spends his evening in the half-lit, smoke-filled lounge impressing strange woman with ten-dollar cocktails, or the man who chooses the Motel 6 by a vacant lot of sunflowers and spends the evening watching the sunset and writing a love letter to his wife?"
