Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you.'" - Copy to Clipboard   --  Erich Fromm Listed in: Love Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4.77  Rate Quote 35 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Erich Fromm "To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person." "There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love." Top 5 quotes from Love "Where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding." "Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings." "You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later, when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip." "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." "Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
