Mortimer Adler 137 quotes

When we ask for love, we don'...

When we ask for love, we don't ask others to be fair to us-but rather to care for us, to be considerate of us. There is a world of difference here between demanding justice... and begging or pleading for love.

Mortimer Adler 137 quotes

Mortimer Adler 137 quotes

Freud's view is that all love...

Freud's view is that all love is sexual in its origin or its basis. Even those loves which do not appear to be sexual or erotic have a sexual root or core. They are all sublimations of the sexual instinct.

Leisure is not synonymous with time. Nor is it a noun. Leisure is a verb. I leisure. You leisure.

If one wants another only for some self-satisfaction, usually in the form of sensual pleasure, that wrong desire takes the form of lust rather than love.

Mortimer Adler 137 quotes

Love consists in giving witho...

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.

One of the aims of sexual union is procreation - the creation by reproduction of an image of itself, of the union.
