Ursulas Le Gvinas (Ursula K. Le Guin) vārdi: “Mīlestība nav kā akmens, kas vienkārši tup; tā ir kā maize, ko gatavojam; katru reizi no jauna, atkal un atkal.”

Absolutely essential if you want to know the new paradigms in the emotions research.

[Ogi Ogas · Rating 4 out of 5]

My ratings of books on Goodreads are solely a crude ranking of their utility to me, and not an evaluation of literary merit, entertainment value, social importance, humor, insightfulness, scientific accuracy, creative vigor, suspensefulness of plot, depth of characters, vitality of theme, excitement of climax, satisfaction of ending, or any other combination of dimensions of value which we are expected to boil down through some fabulous alchemy into a single digit.
