A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture. – Abraham Joshua Heschel
Men love because they are afraid of themselves, afraid of the loneliness that lives in them, and need someone in whom they can lose themselves as smoke loses itself in the sky. – V.F. Calverton
Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself remains a very effective therapist. – Karen Horney, Our Inner Conflicts, 1945, referring to psychoanalysis
