Amor Quote by Wilhelm Reich
““A capacidade de suportar o desprazer e a dor sem se tornar amargurado e sem procurar o refúgio no encouraçamento caminha lado a lado com a capacidade de receber a felicidade e de dar o amor. Como salientou Nietzsche, aquele que poderia "exaltar-se até atingir as culminâncias do céu" deve estar preparado para "ser mergulhado na morte". Entretanto, a nessa educação e filosofia social europeias tornaram os adolescentes, conforme a sua situação social, ou em frágeis bonecos, ou em máquinas de indústria ou de "negócios" — secas, insensíveis, portadoras de melancolia crônica e incapazes para o prazer.””
