"Then one will also recognize that while one is consciously afraid of not being loved, the real, though usually unconscious fear is that of loving. 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. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love."
[118]
"To have faith in the possibility of love as a social and not only exceptional-individual phenomenon, is a rational faith based on insight into the very nature of man."
Erich Fromm
