“Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.”

“[...] Essence simply enjoys and commits attention and love to whatever is. In fact, committing attention to anything that is present results in enjoyment. The ego enjoys so little because it commits attention to what isn't present and to what it doesn't have, and suffers over that, instead of committing attention to whatever is. It loves its fantasies, dreams, and desires more than it loves reality.”

“Love isn't based on gratitude. Respect isn't based on debt.”

“Romantic love is over-rated but that's what we want in life, someone who love us in a romantic way.”

“Maybe there really isn't any such thing as mortality; life simply wears us out with love.”

“Human beings owe a debt of love to one another because there is no other method of paying the debt of love and care which all of us owe to providence.”
