“ The more I am loved, the more I lose my being , the more I am thrown back on my own responsibilities, on my own power to be. In the second place the Other’s awakening is always possible; at any moment he can make me appear as an object—hence the lover’s perpetual insecurity. In the third place love is an absolute which is perpetually made relative by others. ”
