Here are some quotes on the topic of love from the social psychologist, Erich Fromm:
“Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.”
“Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.”
“Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.”
“The mature response to the problem of existence is love.”
