The ability to be alone is the ability to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not. It is an existential truth: only those who can be alone are able to love, to share, to go into the deepest core of another human being—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.

你不必非得做个好人。你不必跪着走过一百英里的沙漠去忏悔。你只需要让你身体里柔软的动物去爱它所爱的。
