"True love, often referred to as an empty phrase, begins with respect for life. Family love too. And this is based on the joy that the other is in the world and that we were able to meet. And the other basis of this feeling is the joy that I am also in the world, that I too can be loved, and that our meeting is also about this. No kind of hatred or self-loathing can fit into love. Contemplation, anger, fear, and worry fit in, but hateful rejection does not.

""Az élet tiszteletével kezdődik a sokat és üres frázisként emlegetett igazi szeretet. A családi szeretet is. S ennek alapja az öröm, hogy a másik a világon van, és hogy találkozhattunk. S ennek az érzésnek a másik alapja az öröm, hogy én is a világon vagyok, engem is lehet szeretni, s hogy a találkozásunk erről is szól. Semmiféle gyűlölet, önutálat nem fér bele a szeretetbe. A mérgelődés, a harag, a féltés, az aggódás bőven belefér, de a gyűlölködő elutasítás nem."
