  • Respect is not fear and awe; it...[is]the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his unique individuality. Respect, thus, implies the absence of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me.

    Erich Fromm (2000). “The Art of Loving: The Centennial Edition”, p.26, A&C Black
