What else is love...?

2021-09-09 18:22:12.03386+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

"What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do and crosswise to our purposes? For love to bridge these opposites through joy it must not eliminate or deny them.—Even self-love presupposes an irreconcilable duality (or multiplicity) in a single person."

~ Friedrich Nietzsche (Mixed Opinions and Maxims, 1879)
