"Love
is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of
his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of
another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to
see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even
more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet
actualized but yet ought to be actualized.
"Furthermore, by
his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize
these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what
he should become, he makes these potentialities come true."
