(69) Dr. Louis Levy (Martin Bergmann) at the end of Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989): ' You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in-love is a very strange paradox. The paradox consists of the fact that when we fall in-love we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom we were attached as children.

(70) Dr. Louis Levy (Martin Bergmann) at the end of Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989): ' Human happiness does not seem to have been included in the design of creation.

Quotes Containing love:
Erich Fromm: 'Immature love says: I love you because I need you. Mature love says: I need you because I love you.'
Sonja (Diane Keaton) to young Natasha (Jessica Harper) in Love and Death (1975): 'Natasha, to love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love . But then one suffers from not loving . Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love . To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love , or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down .'
Charles Panati. Sexy Origins and Intimate Things (1998): 'Early love , chemically based, is when you love the way the other person makes you feel. It is self-centered, feel-good love . Mature love , which comes later in a relationship , is love for whoever a person is. It is other-centered.'
