Being in Delusion
“You go home and invent a story about me, and now you can’t separate me from the person you’ve imagined me to be. You call that, I suppose, being in love; as a matter of fact, it’s being in delusion.”
― Virginia Woolf, Night and Day
Love and Justice
“Justice between people is perhaps the most important connection people can have.”
“There can be no love without justice.”
A Clear Definition
“Had I been given a clear definition of love earlier in my life it would not have taken me so long to become a more loving person. Had I shared with others a common understanding of what it means to love it would have been easier to create love.”
Miserable in Love
“Before you become miserable in love, remember: not every beautiful thing is meant for you. Sometimes the grown-up thing to do is ooh & ahh & walk away.”
— Claudia Dawson, “Every beautiful thing“
All Human Behavior
“The way of the miracle-worker is to see all human behavior as one two things: either love, or a call for love”
— Marianne Williamson

Out of the dark subconscious, a chant echos along the many hollows of the mind—I need, I need, I need! Sweating with shame, ego drips sweetly from the mouth—I love you, I love you, I love you. You think you found the best way to have both, but you only found the worst way to do either.
