"一人でいる能力は愛する能力の条件です"
— Erich Fromm

Simplified Meaning:
Being comfortable with being alone is important if you want to truly love someone else. When you can enjoy your own company, you’re not depending on others to feel happy or complete. This makes it easier to form healthy relationships because you're not looking for someone else to fill gaps in your life. For example, if someone enjoys their hobbies and spending time alone, they can share their happiness with a partner rather than expecting the partner to make them happy. In relationships, this means both people can grow together without feeling pressured. So, learning to be alone helps you give and receive love more genuinely.
