Werner Erhard quoted in ‘Speaking Being’:
'if you take something which is true and add to it an “in order to” or even a “because” or a “therefore,” you’ve changed it. And you’ve changed it so dramatically that it’s no longer the truth. It’s the truth used for something—to prove something, to coerce others, to be right or make someone else wrong. The truth used like that isn’t the truth any more. It’s closer to a lie—something pretending to be the truth.'
'What you call love is not love: it’s love in-order-to; love to keep somebody around; or love to get something out of them; love because you need. That’s not love. When you take everything else away, what is left is love.'
