Thomas Aquinas

As I remember, I have read in one place of Saint Thomas Aquinas, where he condemns marriages within any of the forbidden degrees, for this reason, among others, that there is some danger, lest the friendship a man bears to such a woman, should be immoderate;

He made answer, that he fancied it was some abstract drawn from Saint Thomas Aquinas, for that, in truth, his mind, so full of infinite learning and admirable subtlety, was alone capable of such thoughts.

and quote Plato and Aquinas in things the first man they meet could determine as well;
