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.

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

At any moment I could give up, but I haven't because love for me is an indispensable structure for being.

The digital age is for me in many ways about temporal wounding. It's really messed up our ontological clocks.

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.

Thinking through quotes, which to say scouring a range of texts for insight, is one way to outline the process of thinking/feeling through a subject.

Not only is true love rare and true rebellion rare, real love is itself a radical form of rebellion - engagement, thinking, and being - and therefore happens in the context of a larger project of justice, liberation, and critical thinking.
