Love, if you haven’t noticed, can be very hard to define. Really define.
Here are some examples. Add “Be Mine” at your own risk.
- “Love isn’t soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.” – Stephen King
- “The pain of love is the pain of being alive. It is a perpetual wound. – Maureen Duffy
- “Love is a hole in the heart.” – Ben Hecht
- “Sex isn’t hard, but intimacy is terrifying.” – Tatiana Maslany
- “Love meant jumping off a cliff and trusting that a certain person would be there to catch you at the bottom.” – Jodi Picoult
- “But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.” – Khalil Gibran
- “You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love.” – Franz Kafka
- “I will not have you without the darkness that hides within you. I will not let you have me without the madness that makes me. If our demons cannot dance, neither can we.” – Nikita Gill
- “Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.” – Bob Marley
- “Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary.” – Oscar Wilde
As a postscript, let me add this: “If I love you, what business is it of yours?” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So how do you define love?
