“First loves can fuck you up.”
– Tara Kelly, Amplified
“True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring — once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome… except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true first love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners.
And, as is true of any other strong and addicting drug, true first love is dangerous.”
― Stephen King, Wizard and Glass
Written by Bruce Cockburn. Very good cover here.
“What’s the earth
With all its art, verse, music, worth—
Compared with love,
found, gained, and kept?”
– Robert Browning
“Love consists in giving without getting in return; in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. that’s why true love is never based, as associations for utility or pleasure are, on a fair exchange.
– Mortimer Adler
“Love is not an equation, it is not a contract, and it is not a happy ending. Love is the slate under the chalk, the ground that buildings rise, and the oxygen in the air. It is the place you come back to, no matter where you’re headed.”
– Jodi Picoult
