"Real love is never a selfish emotion. If……" — Jonathan Lockwood Huie

"Real love is never a selfish emotion. If you want something from someone - especially if that something is sex - what you are feeling is not true love. True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love - and not about seeking happiness for yourself. Fortunately, in most cases our own loving presence is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love. Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing we would choose never to see that person again if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness."
