The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love.

It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not.
It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable 
of beeing alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going
into the deepest core of the other person - without
possessing the other, witout becoming dependent on 
the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and
without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the 
other absolute freedom, because they know that if the
other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. 
Their happiness cannot be taken by the other,
because it is not given by the other.

Osho, Beeing in Love
