D. K. Jerome

In love-friendship there is not that terrible alienation and terrible attraction of the object, which is in sexual love. Friendship does not have this polarity that attracts opposite elements, and there is no such terrible combination of love and enmity. Friendship is not so connected with the very roots of personality, with the very holistic image and likeness of God in man. Friendship fills the life of the individual with positive content, but does not affect the fundamental principles of the individual. Sex is poured all over the person; friendship is only a part of it, only a mental function. But in real deep friendship there is an erotic element - there is, if not a direct, then an indirect connection with sex. Friendship is not an integral, fractional love, it does not contain the final secret of the two, but can approach it. In friendship there is no union of two into one flesh (not only in the sense sexual intercourse, but also in another higher sense), there is only touch. Therefore, friendship is a high step in the hierarchy of feelings:

N.V. Berdyaev

Love is a dual feeling, it does not happen without physical attraction, children of procreation. Spiritual love ("Platonic") cannot be recognized as "true", since it does not allow opposition of the spirit to the body: a person is whole, spiritually-corporeal.

Loving many - knows women, Loving one - knows Love.

I. Selvinsky

The future will open up such a brilliant and so varied field for love that the love stories of the building of civilization will be considered with a feeling of contemptuous regret.

Often only a weak will is hidden under strong passions.

V. Klyuchevsky

Small is that love in which there is no friendship, camaraderie, common interests.

N. Ostrovsky

Love cannot be grown simply from the bowels of a simple zoological sex drive. The powers of "amorous" love can only be found in the experience of non-sexual human sympathy. A young man will never love his bride and wife if he did not love his parents, comrades, friends. And the wider the area of ​​this non-sexual love, the nobler will be sexual love.

A.S. Makarenko

The most fundamental kind of love, underlying all its types, is brotherly love. By this I mean a sense of responsibility and care, respect and desire to help him in life. This is the kind of love that the Bible says: “Love your neighbor:

Erich Fromm

Love does not primarily characterize relationships with specific person; it is a position, an orientation of character, which determines a person’s relationship to the world as a whole, and not to only one “object” of love. in the character of the person experiencing it.

Erich Fromm

There is only one form of intimacy that does not hinder the development of the personality and does not cause contradictions and loss of energy - this is mature love; by this term I designate the complete intimacy between two people, each of whom retains complete independence and, in a sense, separateness. Love truly does not cause conflict and does not lead to loss of energy, because it combines two deep human needs: intimacy and independence.

Erich Fromm

… love is the ability of a mature creative character.

Erich Fromm

Respect is not fear and reverence, it is the ability to see a person as he is, to realize his unique individuality ... I want the person I love to grow and develop for his own sake, in his own way, and not in order to serve to me. If I love another person, I feel one with him, but with him as he is, and not with him as I would like him to be, as a means to my ends.

Erich Fromm

…Love is an art. If we want to learn to love, we must follow this path just as if we wanted to learn any other art - carpentry, the art of medicine or engineering.

There are two kinds of love: one is simple, the other is mutual. Simple - when a loved one does not love a lover. Then the lover is totally dead. When the beloved responds to love, the lover at least lives in him. There is something amazing in this.

M. Ficino

Love without respect does not go far and does not rise high: it is an angel with one wing.

A. Dumas (father)

Who in old age can do without love, he did not love in his youth, for years are not an obstacle to love.

Before you demand that others be worthy of our love, you must earn their love.

V. Klyuchevsky

The opposite of loneliness is not living together, but intimacy.

A lot of people live small, petty lives. So many of us “die” at twenty, while they are buried at eighty. Remember: nothing can stop a person if he does not want to stop. Most people don't even know real failure - they just give up the fight. And most of the obstacles that prevent you from moving towards your dream, you yourself have erected in your path. So throw off the shackles of "small thoughts", and instead have the courage to dream big and understand that failure is not your lot.

Robin Sharma

Never go back. There is no point in going back. Even if there are the same eyes in which thoughts sank. Even if it pulls you to where everything was so nice, don't go there ever, forget forever what happened. The same people live in the past that they always promised to love. If you remember this - forget it, you never go there. Don't trust them, they are strangers. After all, once they left you. They killed faith in the soul, in love, in people and in themselves. Live simply by what you live, and even though life is like hell, look only forward, never go back. Omar Khayyam
