Falling In Love Too Fast Quotes

“When you love everything and everyone, you fall in love so fast that it takes an awful lot of excruciating thinking to discern what is right for you and not just innate generosity. People like that must produce the difficult currency of thought. Bennett always needed to assess a situation further in order to determine what was good for him. No path was ever a waste, he thought, but if only there was one path that suited him above all. He hated this kind of thinking. It was tempting to distract oneself and go fall in love with something new down the street, so he usually had to find a place to confine himself. Bennett used to get himself arrested every couple of nights for this reason. Jail cells were quiet enough for him to think in peace. Plus, handcuffs restrained him from performing his next act. And sometimes he’d shiver, not out of the coldness of the bleak underground, but from the complication of untying the chains of the tangled human veritas.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song
