    geliebt zu werden für das, was man ist, ist die größte Ausnahme. Die große Mehrheit liebt in anderen nur das, was sie ihm verleihen, sich selbst, ihre Version von ihm.

    ser amado por lo que uno es, es la mayor excepción. la gran mayoría ama en los demás sólo lo que le prestan, a sí mismos, a su versión de él.

    быть любимым таким, какой он есть, - величайшее исключение. подавляющее большинство любит в других только то, что они ему одалживают, - самих себя, свою версию его.

    被一个人所爱是最大的例外。绝大多数人只爱别人借给他的东西,自己的自我和对他的看法。
