Alain de Botton Quote

E surprinzător cât de des respingerea în dragoste este exprimată în limbajul moralității, limbajul aceea ce e corect și ce nu, a ceea ce e bun și ce e rău, ca și când a respinge sau a nu respinge, a iubi sau a nu iubi este ceva ce aparține în mod natural unei ramuri a eticii. E surprinzător cât de des cel care respinge este etichetat ca fiind rău, iar cel respins ajunge să întruchipeze binele.
