is marked by a contradiction... namely, the attempt to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past... that is, to re-find parts of the people to whom we were attached as children and to hope that our beloved corrects all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted upon us.

You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in love is a very strange paradox. The paradox consist of the fact that, when we fall in love, we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom we were attached as children. On the other hand, we ask our beloved to correct all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted upon us. So that love contains in it the contradiction: The attempt to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past. Woody Allen

is not something that just happens. One falls in love because of the need, desperate, to fall in love.

You don't fall in love because you fall in love... you fall in love because of the need, desperate, to fall in love. when you feel that need, you have to watch your step: like having drunk a philter, the kind that makes you fall in love with the first thing you meet. It could be a duck-billed platypus. Umberto Eco

But to fall in love does not mean to love. One can fall in love and still hate. Fyodor Dostoevsky

is the initial experience of love which is to be distinguished from the permanent state of love, which we might better refer to as 'standing' in love.

The third error leading to the assumption that there is nothing to be learned about love lies in the confusion between the initial experience of 'falling' in love, and the permanent state of being in love, or as we might better say, of 'standing' in love. Erich Fromm
