Love consists in giving without getting in return; in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based, as associations for utility or pleasure are, on a fair exchange Picture Quote #1
It is love rather than sexual lust or unbridled sexuality if, in addition to the need or want involved, there is also some impulse to give pleasure to the persons thus loved and not merely to use them for our own selfish pleasure Picture Quote #1
The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live Picture Quote #1
