If only it were possible to love without injury fidelity isnt enough I had been faithful to Anne and yet I had injured her. The hurt is in the act of possession we are too small in mind and body to possess another person without pride or to be possessed without humiliation. In a way I was glad that my wife had struck out at me again I had forgotten her pain for too long and this was the only kind of recompense I could give her. Unfortunately the innocent are always involved in any conflict. Always everywhere there is some voice crying from a tower.

Its not enough to believe Dont you see that you stupid girl You could spend your whole life hoping and believing If a love affair is one-sided then its only ever a question never an answer. You cant live your life waiting for an answer.

Lovings pretty easy. Its letting someone love you thats hard.

When you need to be loved you take love wherever you can find it. When you are desperate to be loved feel love know love you seek out what you think love should look like. When you find love or what you think love is you will lie kill and steal to keep it. But learning about real love comes from within. It cannot be given. It cannot be taken away. It grows from your ability to re-create within yourself the essence of loving experiences you have had in your life.
