"To be loved for what one is, that is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him; their own selves, their version of him…This is the true measure of love: when we believe that we alone can love this way. That no one could ever have loved us so before us. And that no one will ever love in the same way after us" - Goethe
