📝Quotes excerpt from chapter 2:
Envy, jealousy, ambition, any kind of greed are passions; love is an action, the practice of a human power, which can be practiced only in freedom, and never as a result of compulsion.
Love is an activity, not a passive effect; it is a “standing in”, not a “falling for”. In the most generous way, the active character of love can be described be stating that love is primarily giving, not receiving.
