![“Respect is not fear and awe; it...[is]the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his unique individuality. Respect, thus, implies the absence of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me.” quote by Erich Fromm](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ceb/erich-fromm-367_ability_respect-is-not-fear-and-awe-it-is-the-ab_1306391.jpg)
