only make manifest their own lovelessness,
and the loveless never find love,
only the loving find love,
and they never have to seek for it.”

“How wonderful to go beyond wanting and fearing in your relationships. Love does not want or fear anything.”

“I only fear the death of others. For me, true death is that of the people I love”

“The power of patriarchy has been to make maleness feared and to make men feel that it is better to be feared that to be loved. Whether they can confess this or not, men know that just is not true.”
