“The maimings of love are endlessly funny....”
“We are funny creatures. We don't see the stars as they are, so why do we love them? They are not small gold objects, but endless fire.”
“Only the lame could love and only the maimed could mourn”
“So here we sit on the island of misfit lovers. The broken, the maimed, the malformed, who still, all sensible evidence to the contrary, believe in love, crave love.”
“Noble disappointment, noble self-denial are not to be admired, not even to be pardoned, if they bring bitterness. It is one thing to enter the kingdom of heaven maim; another to maim yourself and stay without.”
“It is no coincidence that Jesus talks endlessly about love. Free love. Unconditional love.”
