More on Love
“To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.”
“The minute you start keeping score, you're destroying the relationship.”
“When we think of all the things we want to do with our other half the answer should be simple; we should want to do absolutely everything with them. We should want to experience everything, feel everything, see everything with no one but them by our sides. When we look back on our lives it's not the things we did do with them that we'll regret, it's the things we didn't do.”
More on Emotion
“I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't capable of great emotion, well, he leaves me cold.”
“People talk as if grief were just a feeling -- as if it weren't the continually renewed shock of setting out again and again on familiar roads and being brought up short by the grim frontier post that now blocks them.”
“All love is betrayal, in that it flatters life. The loveless man is best armed.”
