“Publilius Syrus come to me: Amor animi arbitrio sumitur, non ponitur; we choose to love; we do not choose to cease loving.”
“Amor animi arbitrio sumitu, non ponitur; we choose to love; we do not choose to cease loving.”
“Love is an intervention.Why do we not choose it?” (205)”
“We cannot choose the times we live in. Just as, sometimes, we cannot choose whom we love.”
“How do we come to choose what it is that we spend our days doing? Would we choose it again if we could? Did we choose it today, or has it simply carried us along somehow?”
“The point about love, the essential point, was that we loved what we loved. We did not choose. We just loved.”
