THE ART OF LOVING Quotes

“Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'”

“Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.”

“Envy, jealousy, ambition, any kind of greed are passions; love is an action, the practice of human power, which can be practiced only in freedom and never as a result of compulsion. Love is an activity, not a passive affect; it is a "standing in," not a "falling for." In the most general way, the active character of love can be described by stating that love is primarily giving, not receiving.”
