Quote by Meister Eckhart, The Art of Lovi

If you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do yourself. As long as you love another person less than yourself, you will not succeed in loving yourself, but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man. Thus he is the great righteous person who, loving himself, loves all others equally.

If you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do your

Summary

This quote emphasizes the interconnectedness of self-love and love for others. It suggests that in order to truly love oneself, one must also love others with the same intensity. Loving others less than oneself hinders personal growth, while loving all equally, including oneself, leads to a unified love that encompasses both divine and human qualities. By loving oneself and others indiscriminately, one becomes a righteous individual capable of experiencing the highest form of love.

Through wind, hail or frost my living's made. I am a lecher, and she's a lecher with me. Which one of us is better? We're both alike: The one as worthy as the other. Bad rat, bad cat. We both love filth, and filth pursues us; We flee from honor, honor flees from us, In this brothel where we ply our trade.
