Romantic love is mental illness. But its a pleasurable one. Its a drug. It distorts reality, and thats the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw. – Fran Lebowitz
You dont want to love – your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You arent positive, youre negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because youve got a shortage somewhere. – David Herbert Lawrence
