Instinct of love toward an object demands a mastery to obtain it, and if a person feels they can't control the object or feel threatened by it, they act negatively toward it.

The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life.

The idea of life having a purpose stands and falls with the religious system.

To be completely honest with oneself is the very best effort a human being can make.

We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.

Now it is nothing but torture.
