Kindle Notes & Highlights
The word “love” is most often defined as a noun, yet all the more astute theorists of love acknowledge that we would all love better if we used it as a verb.
“To love somebody is not just a strong feeling—it is a decision, it is
a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go.”
most people remain reluctant to embrace the idea that it is more genuine, more real, to think of choosing to love rather than falling in love.
