Unasked Unsought Love Gives Itself But Is Not

"“Love is a decision - not an emotion!”"

"“but love is not fashionable anymore, the poets have killed it. They wrote so much about it that nobody believed them, and I am not surprised. True love suffers, and is silent. I remember myself once-but no matter now. Romance is a thing of the past.”"

"“They do not love that do not show their love.”"

"“Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have , so to speak , pawned a part of their narcissism.”"

"“Why have you been staring at me ever since we met? Because I’m not the Gail Wynand you’d heard about. You see, I love you. And love is exception-making. If you were in love you’d want to be broken, trampled, ordered, dominated, because that’s the impossible, in the inconceivable for you in your relations with people. That would be the one gift, the great exception you’d want to offer the man you loved. But it wouldn’t be easy for you.”"

"“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”"
