"

The one you love, you look up to. He sees not only who he is - but also who he should be. (...) This look, that is, the eye of love, belongs to the wise person who sees the most beautiful, true face in the other. He sees the moth in the caterpillar. She's in it, she just has to give birth. You have to tear off your caterpillar and spread your colorful wings. Seeing the "butterfly" in your partner or child is the eye of love. And not only in them: in yourself too! You're not ready either. You're not good "just the way you are" either. You have to work on yourself constantly. You still have to give birth yourself. Inside and out.

Hungarian

"Akit az ember szeret, abban följebb néz. Nemcsak azt látja, aki - hanem azt is, akivé lennie kell. (...) Ez a tekintet, vagyis a szeretet szeme a bölcs emberé, aki meglátja a másikban a szebbik, igazi arcát. Meglátja a hernyóban a lepkét. Benne van, csak meg kell szülnie még. Le kell tépnie magáról a hernyóságát, s ki kell bontania a színes szárnyait. Látni a párodban vagy a gyerekedben a "lepkét" - ez a szeretet szeme. És nem csak bennük: önmagadban is! Te sem vagy készen. Te sem vagy jó "úgy, ahogy vagy". Magadon is szüntelenül dolgoznod kell. Magadat is meg kell szülnöd még. Kívül-belül."
