Heidi Priebe
“Love is wonderful and worthwhile and enriching but it should never be a standoff between the person and the life that you want.”
Heidi Priebe, This Is Me Letting You Go

Maggie Nelson
“I want you to know, if you ever read this, there was a time when I would rather have had you by my side than any one of these words; I would rather have had you by my side than all the blue in the world.

But now you are talking as if love were a consolation. Simone Weil warned otherwise. 'Love is not consolation,' she wrote. 'It is light.'

All right then, let me try to rephrase. When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light.”
Maggie Nelson, Bluets

Charles Bukowski
“and you invented me
and I invented you
and that's why we don't
get along
on this bed
any longer.
you were the world's
greatest invention
until you
flushed me
away.

now it's your turn
to wait for the touch
of the handle.
somebody will do it
to you,
bitch,
and if they don't
you will -
mixed with your own
green or yellow or white
or blue
or lavender
goodbye.”
Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

Erich Fromm
“Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.”
Erich Fromm

Charles Bukowski
“you boys can keep your virgins
give me hot old women in high heels
with asses that forgot to get old.”
Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell
