• There is no word in our language which has been so much misused and prostituted as the word love. It has been preached by those who were ready to condone every cruelty if it served their purpose; it has been used as a disguise under which to force people into sacrificing their own happiness, into submitting their whole self to those who profited from this surrender. [...] It has been made so empty that for many people love may mean no more than that two people have lived together for twenty years just without fighting more often than once a week.

  Erich Fromm

  Love, Mean, Sacrifice

• An honorable human relationship- that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word "love"- is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.
  It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation.
  It is important to do this because in doing so we do justice to our own complexity.
  It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us.
