Bell Hooks famous quote #123

Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment...dreaming that love will save us solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy undermining the real power of the love -- which is to transform us. Many people want love to function like a drug giving them an immediate and sustained high. They want to do nothing just passively receive the good feeling.

W.H. Auden quote #87 from Collected Shorter Poems

The More Loving OneLooking up at the stars I know quite wellThat for all they care I can go to hellBut on earth indifference is the leastWe have to dread from man or beast.How should we like it were stars to burnWith a passion for us we could not returnIf equal affection cannot beLet the more loving one be me.Admirer as I think I amOf stars that do not give a damnI cannot now I see them sayI missed one terribly all day.Were all stars to disappear or dieI should learn to look at an empty skyAnd feel its total dark sublimeThough this might take me a little time.
