"The father loves his child, because he is his creation; but he must also love him as a future man. Only such love towards children is true and worthy to be called love; anything else is selfishness, cold self-love.

The father loves his child, because he is his creation; but he must also love him as a future man. Only such love towards children is true and worthy to be called love; anything else is selfishness, cold self-love.
"Romanian
"Tatăl iubește pe copilul său, pentru că acesta este creația lui; dar el trebuie să-l iubească și ca pe un viitor om. Numai o astfel de iubire față de copii este adevărată și vrednică de a fi numită iubire; orice alta este un egoism, o iubire de sine rece."
