| | to learn to love by loving | Explanation:
I would take a small liberty and expand it, borrowing the Iris Murdoch quotation. I think this is what's implied, and the literal "to love by loving" is rathe obscure:
"Iris Murdoch
We can only learn to love by loving."http://quotations.about.com/od/lovequotes/a/lovequotes23.htm

It's from The Bell, by the way.

"Often we do not achieve for others the good that we intend but achieve something, something that goes on from our effort. Good is an overflow. Where we generously and sincerely intend it, we are engaged in a work of creation which may be mysterious even to ourselves — and because it is mysterious we may be afraid of it. But this should not make us draw back. God can always show us, if we will, a higher and a better way; and we can only learn to love by loving. Remember that all our failures are ultimately failures in love. Imperfect love must not be condemned and rejected but made perfect. The way is always forward, never back."
Iris Murdoch, The Bell (Penguin), pp. 218-19.
Reminds me of Van Morrison's sublime Madam George: "And the love that loves the love that loves the love that loves the love that loves to love the love that loves to love the love that loves."
