“Love consists of a commitment which limits one’s freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one’s freedom on behalf of another.

Freedom exists for the sake of love… Man longs for love more than for freedom- freedom is the means and love is the end.” - - Wojtyla and Kant p.41 - T.O.B.
