Quote by Mortimer Adler
When we ask for love, we dont ask others to be fair to us-but rath

When we ask for love, we dont ask others to be fair to us-but rather to care for us, to be considerate of us. There is a world of difference here between demanding justice… and begging or pleading for love. – Mortimer Adler
