Love is the most selfish of all the passions.

Alexandre Dumas
About This Quote

While love can often be selfish, it is never selfish to have a loving relationship. People who are closest to one another are often the ones who assign the most importance to their individual needs. This is true for married couples, parents and children, siblings and friends. We all need to feel close to someone in order to survive on this planet.

Love is not always something that one can expect or demand of others. Often times, it is more of a feeling that gradually forms over time between two people who are willing to give each other their all.
