« Loving someone is not just about the power of feeling - but about a decision, a judgment, a promise. If love was only feeling, the promise of loving one another forever would have no basis. A feeling can burst in as it can disappear. How can I judge that he will persist if my act does not involve judgment or decision? »

« Care, responsibility, respect and knowledge are mutually interdependent. These components of love form a syndrome of attitudes that is found in the mature person, that is, in the person who makes his own virtualities grow, who desires only what he has worked for, who has renounced the narcissistic dreams of omniscience and omnipotence, who has acquired humility based on internal strength that only can give a truly productive activity. »
