Good quote! =) Thanks for that and the giveaway!

Another quote I have disagreements with.

She is applying love as an economic model. In Jaques Derrida's words:

‘ I love you’ is about everything or nothing. Behind this phrase is a tough economic model that leads to great profit or disastrous loss. With these words the speaker addresses the ego of the beloved one, every fiber of that human. ‘If I love you diligently, I expect the same in return.’ The pressure and expectations linked to this love are enormous. A burn-out is constantly lurking.

This kind of love is very similar to ‘le droit divin’, the ‘divine right’, as drafted by Louis XIV.

Furthermore, the words ‘I love you’ contain endless amounts of meanings and will be interpreted differently by different people in various situations. Confusion and incomprehension are inevitable. One could say that this is a totalitarian love, based on an economic model that leads to disappointment and betrayal

There is another philosopher that views love as the act of loss. Losing is loving because you deliver yourself to an enterprise where you consciously know you will lose (time and energy) without receiving the same in return, and yet still doing it.

Hope this doesn't bother you, I never saw this quotes before and I felt like exposing my thoughts about them.
