“Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.”

Felix Adler (1851–1933) German American professor of political and social ethics, rationalist, and lecturer

Section 5 : Love and Marriage
Founding Address (1876), Life and Destiny (1913)
Context: Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.
Love is an echo in the feelings of a unity subsisting between two persons which is founded both on likeness and on complementary differences. Without the likeness there would be no attraction; without the challenge of the complementary differences there could not be the closer interweaving and the inextinguishable mutual interest which is the characteristic of all deeper relationships.

“Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.”

"Birthmark" in Paris Review (Spring 2003)
Context: They wordlessly excused each other for not loving each other as much as they had planned. There were empty rooms in the house where they had meant to put their love and they worked together to fill these rooms with high-end, consumer-grade equipment. It was a tight situation. The next sudden move would have to be through the wall.
