You are afraid of it because it is stronger than you you hate it because you are afraid of it you love it because you cannot subdue it to your will. Only the unsubduable can be loved.

About This Quote

The thing you fear the most is just the exact thing that makes you stronger. The thing you hate the most is just the exact thing that will help you become stronger. You love this thing because it is so powerful, and all of its power lies in your hands. It is so much fun to be able to take on this thing, and to beat it down.

But, in the end, it can never truly be conquered because if that were to happen then no one would ever need to fall in love again. Love is like gravity; when you try to fight against it you only end up flying into it harder than ever before.
