Because one does not see that love is an activity, a power of the soul,
one believes that all that is necessary is to find the right object--and
that everything goes by itself afterward. This attitude can be compared to
that of a man who wants to paint but who, instead of learning the art,
claims that he has just to wait for the right object, and that he will
paint beautifully when he finds it. -- Erich Fromm, "The Art of
Loving"
