"People give the name 'love' to the relation between a man and a woman whose genital needs have led them to found a family; but they also give the name 'love' to the positive feelings between parents and children, and between brothers and sisters of a family, although we are obliged to describe this as 'aim-inhibited' love or 'affection.' Why are we obliged to do this?"
The Freud quote is gross (obviously) because it equates family love with romantic love. The quote came from my homework and it just fit so perfectly with Dan's post...I couldn't resist putting it out there.
