From my latest pick-up from the library:

He has made the sharing of ourselves the law of our own being, so that it is in loving others that we best love ourselves. In disinterested activity we best fulfill our own capacities to act and be.

Yet there can never be happiness in complusion.  It is not enough for love to be shared: it must be shared freely.
