What is love?
Many years ago, someone who meant the universe to me asked me what love is. I had to confess to her, at the time, that I just did not know what to tell her. Then, I went on to study all the best Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance authors I could find on the subject, from Ovid's "Ars Amatoria" to Andreas Capellanus' "De Amore", among endless others, and gave her this answer: "Love is what remains in the ruins of a relationship once all the promises, fantasies and illusions are long gone." It's not a simple answer, but I hope that YOU, as you read these lines, may contemplate what I meant... #love #philosophy #literature (edited)

The best definition i have ever found for love is in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 13. If I can try to Love like this I will have accomplished a great deal in my life. If you’re able read the entire chapter please do but here are the highlights Love is patient, kind, doesnt envy or boast, is not arrogant or rude, doesn’t insist on its own way, isnt irritable or resentful, rejoices in truths, bears, believes, hopes and endures all things and is never ending. I will never be able to love perfectly like this but i will try. (edited)

To be known, understood, and/or recognized as this. Not seen as just complicated, but gazed upon with "love." To be rescued not only because you need the saving, but because you're profounly desired to be kept.

"The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea"
"It was the sea that made me begin thinking secretly about love more than anything else; you know, a love worth dying for, or a love that consumes you. To a man locked up in a steel ship all the time, the sea is too much like a woman." ~ Yukio Mishima

From The Magicians by Lev Grossman
"Most people are blind to magic. They move through a blank and empty world. They're bored with their lives, and there's nothing they can do about it. They're eaten alive by longing, and they're dead before they die." .

Is anyone reading The Spellshop?
I'm about 10% in and really considering DNFing this one. It's really cute but also really long-winded and not in an interesting, world building, character developing way. Have any of you read it? Should I keep going? #reading
