<blockquote>Love in itself, in the form of longing and deprivation, lowers the self-regard; whereas to be loved, to have love returned, and to possess the beloved object, exalts it again.<ref>{{Narc}}</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>Being in love is based upon the simultaneous presence of directly sexual tendencies and of sexual tendencies that are inhibited in their aims, so that the object draws a part of the narcissistic ego-libido to itself. It is a condition in which there is only room for the ego and the object.<ref>{{GPAE}} Ch. 1</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>Not to love before one gains full knowledge of the thing loved presupposes a delay which is harmful. When one finally reaches cognition, he neither loves nor hates properly; one remains beyond love and hatred. One has investigated instead of having loved.<ref>{{LDV}} Ch. 1</ref></blockquote>
===Love, Sexual===
<blockquote>One of the forms in which love manifests itself, sexual love, gives us our most intense experience of an overwhelming pleasurable sensation and so furnishes a prototype for our strivings after happiness.<ref>{{C&D}} Ch. 2</ref></blockquote>
