Quote by Wilhelm Stekel

Love at first sight is a revival of an infantile impression. The first love object reappears in a different disguise.

Love at first sight is a revival of an infantile impression.

Summary

This quote suggests that the sensation of falling in love at first sight is actually a reawakening of a deeply ingrained emotional connection from our earliest relationships, particularly with our primary caregivers. It implies that our unconscious mind recognizes specific qualities or characteristics in someone new that resemble those of our original love object. Essentially, love at first sight is seen as a subconscious projection, where we perceive the familiar in an unfamiliar person, leading to an instantaneous and intense attraction.
