Quote by Mortimer Adler

Erotic or sexual love can truly be love if it is not selfishly sexual or lustful.

Erotic or sexual love can truly be love if it is not selfish

Summary

This quote suggests that erotic or sexual love can be considered true love if it is not driven by selfish desires or lust. It implies that genuine love involves selflessness and a focus on the well-being and happiness of the other person, rather than simply seeking personal gratification. Thus, sexual love can be seen as a true expression of love when it is characterized by a deep emotional connection and a mutual understanding and respect between partners, rather than primarily being based on physical desire.

It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles. The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win. Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That's morality, that's religion. That's art. That's life.

In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favorites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services, of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive; and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.
