Heaven is a banquet

I just completed reading Dorothy Day's autobiography-- a somewhat disappointing book.  I suppose I was looking for pithy quotes and more about the ins and outs of her actual social work than her social activism. 

Anyway, here's an interesting quotation:

We cannot love God unless we love each other, and to love we must know each other. We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone any more.  Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet, too, even with a crust, where there is companionship.
