The capacity to be alone is the
capacity to love. It may look
paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is
an existential truth: only those
people who are capable of being
alone are possessing the other,
without becoming dependent on the
other, without reducing the other to
a thing, and without becoming
addicted to the other. They allow the
other absolute freedom, because
they know that if the other leaves,
they will be as happy as they are
now. Their happiness cannot be
taken by the other, because it is not
given by the other."
