I don't know that I could really define love. I can't . . . again, it's like trying to define what this creative force is. It's beyond my ability to really define. If I can define it, then it's not it. We're right back to that thing again.
Hubert Selby, Jr.I think the function of suffering is to let me know that my perception is skewed; what Iโm doing is judging natural events in such a way that I am creating suffering within myself. For instance, you have pain over certain conditions, certain situations that occur. And if you just say โok, here I am, Iโm going to experience the pain,โ you donโt suffer. The resistance and the degree of the resistance to the natural phenomenon of life causes tremendous suffering.
Hubert Selby, Jr.No matter how beautiful the outside may be, the inside still has feelings and needs that just words don't fulfill.
