Love is absolute, Attachment has expectations, love does not want or need anything, love is limitless. “Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.” ― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving “Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person; it is an attitude, an ordination of character which determines the relatedness of the person to the whole world as a whole, not toward one object of love” ― Erich Fromm “If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to all others, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.” ― Erich Fromm “Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.” ― Erich Fromm “Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.” ― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving ( I must spend most of my time alone, people drain me)
