Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

I see socialism in the direction, of management, of enterprise, by all who work in the enterprise.

Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.

I would define myself as a Marxian, and that means of course also as a humanist.

Love of others and love of ourselves are not alternatives. On the contrary, an attitude of love towards themselves will be found in all those who are capable of loving others.

Every act of irreverence for life, every act which neglects life, which is indifferent to and wastes life, is a step towards the love of death. This choice man must make at every minute. Never were the consequences of the wrong choice as total and as irreversible as they are today. Never was the warning of the Bible so urgent: 'I have put before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life, that you and your children may live.'

Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
