"L'amour est l'enfant de la liberte! Love is the child of freedom, never that of domination."

It is clear that love is possible only if we have achieved independence; if we can stand and walk without needing crutches, without having to dominate and exploit anyone else.

Love and respect exists only on the basis of freedom: “l’amour est l’enfant de la libertי” as an old French song says; love is the child of freedom, never that of domination.
