“Love in your novels, I think, acts as a form of hope. Why hope?... I want to know about love"
"But isn't love a form of hope?"
"No, love is crushing. Love is something you let yourself feel at your own peril despite your better sense."
"True, it's all those things. But where would we be if we didn't feel it? I think it's the only form of hope we have, for our survival I mean. What good is any other virtue without love? In literature, love is a weakness.... Love is not the weakness, people get it its way people are weak and perilous, not love.”
