DP 13 - Can love be divorced from wisdom?

DP 13
We have several times said
that love constitutes a person's life,
but we do not mean love divorced from wisdom
or good divorced from truth . . .,
because love by itself or good by itself
is not something real.
The love which constitutes the inmost life
that a person has from the Lord
is therefore love and wisdom together.

. . . goodness is good
only to the extent that it is united with its truth,
and that truth is true
only to the extent that it is united with its goodness.
