If sexuality is one dimension of our ability to live passionately in the world then in cutting off our sexual feelings we diminish our overall power to feel know and value deeply.

About This Quote

The ability to be passionate and share our feelings is one of the most important facets of our humanity. Being able to feel and experience many different emotions allows for a more complete and satisfying life. Many people lose that ability because they have become so numbed by the world that they fail to feel anything at all.
