You say 'love' too easily, Kepler.""No, not rally - please don't call me that. The idea that love has to be a blazing romantic thing of monogamous stability is innately ludicrous. You loved your parents, perhaps, because they were the warmth you could flee to. You loved your first childhood crush with a passion that made your lips tingle, your flesh grow light in their presence. You loved your wife with the steadiness of an ocean against the shore; your lover with the blaze of a shooting star, your best friend with the confidence of a mountain. Love is a many-splendorous thing, as the old song says..Claire North
About This Quote
It is a misconception that "love" has to be a glowing, romantic thing. Love is a beautiful word that can have many different meanings. Love can be a feeling of affection, a sense of devotion to another person, an understanding between two people, and all types of feelings in between. The reason why people say "love" so easily is because it is one of the most powerful words in the English language.
