This quote emphasizes the selflessness and understanding required in a genuine and healthy love. It suggests that true love should not be based on possession or control.

We have been troubled about the world, and had almost lost faith in man; it helps to think about the long history of the earth, and of how life came to be. And when we think in terms of millions of years, we are not so impatient that our own problems be solved tomorrow.
