“Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.”
“But, especially in love, only counterfeit emotions exist nowadays. We have all been taught to mistrust everybody emotionally, from parents downwards, or upwards. Don’t trust anybody with your real emotions: if you’ve got any: that is the slogan of today. Trust them with your money, even, but never with your feelings. They are bound to trample on them.”
“Your sin is your very existence.”
“"..love is as complex an emotion as exists. There are many reasons why love does not prosper... the waters are perilous, and you would do well to know that, because unlike your novels, not every story has a happy ending.”
“Love is the grounding of our existence as humans and is the basic emotioning in our systemic identity as human beings.”
