“Freud, in his dying years, filled with pain and pessimism, embraced the concept of love as man’s hope. It is ironic that this man who dealt with the nature of love so pitifully little in the body of his work should have embraced it, as the end of his life, as man’s salvation. It was not a happy solution that Freud visualized. He recognized that love enhances pain as it does pleasure, but in an existential world, where life is the end, not a means, only love can lend it dignity and meaning.”
