There is no justice in love, no proportion in it, and there need not be, because in any specific instance it is only a glimpse or parable of an embracing, incomprehensible reality. It makes no sense at all because it is the eternal breaking in on the temporal. So how could it subordinate itself to cause or consequence?Marilynne Robinson
About This Quote
Every love story has a beginning, a middle, and an end, but that’s what makes it so beautiful. However, those who have been in love know that those three moments are never as you remember them, just as they never will be again. In our hearts we know that the magic of love is only a brief moment made up of moments. Love is a constant reminder of its own impossibility.
The idea of love being perfect is a contradiction of the idea of something being beautiful. To say that love is perfect is to say that it is a frozen moment in time. But love doesn’t live in time, it lives beyond time and it has no end.
