Kindle Notes & Highlights
Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.
We fear that evaluating our needs and then carefully choosing partners will reveal that there is no one for us to love. Most of us prefer to have a partner who is lacking than no partner at all. What becomes apparent is that we may be more interested in finding a partner than in knowing love.
