Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Love is never easy,” said Nerili. “We begin by loving the things we can, according to our stature. But it is not long before we find that what we love is other than ourselves, and that our love is no protection against being wounded. Do we then seek to dominate what we love, to make it bend to our will, to stop it from hurting us, even though to do so is to betray love? And that is only where the difficulty begins.”
“Do not look for nuts in a mulberry tree,”
It is hard to know oneself, but until we do, we cannot know why we act as we do. It’s a lifetime’s quest, and it never ends.”
to love is never wrong. It may be disastrous; it may never be possible; it may be the deepest agony. But it is never wrong.”
