True lovers are as rare as true rebels.

Quotes are like prompts. A way of searching, connecting the dots.

I am as much what I am because of what I still don't have as I am because of what I have had and what I might still have one day.

True lovers are as rare as true rebels.

Love is an active construction, and choice, not just an encounter that happens by chance.

I still have faith in people. But that is getting increasingly harder to maintain. I just don't see many people today choosing love. I see people passing it up a lot. Foreclosing on it, deferring it, sabotaging, letting go.

Having a love ethic, as opposed to simply being in love, or having a lover, means love is the way you actively choose to engage with the world - whether you're in a relationship or not. It's not about disappearing into existing structures, norms, and privileges. It's precisely about breaking with the existing structures, values, and norms that prohibit real love in our culture.
