“I love to you means I maintain a relation of indirection to you. I do not
subjugate you or consume you. I respect you (as irreducible). I hail you:
in you I hail. I praise you: in you I praise. I give you thanks: to you I
give thanks for … I bless you.
[…]
"The 'to' is the guarantor of indirection. The "to" prevents the
relation
of transitivity, bereft of the other's irreducibility and potential
reciprocity. The "to" maintains intransitivity between persons, between the
interpersonal question, speech or gift: I speak to you, I ask of you, I
give to you (and not: I give you to another).
The "to" is the sign of non-immediacy, of mediation between us.”
~ Luce Irigaray. *I Love To You: Sketch of a Possible Felicity in History*.
