“Serve love through the lover, so that you never become attached to the lover. And when one is not attached to the lover, love reaches its highest peaks.

“Hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is. Hating doesn’t free you from feeling anything. You have to carry it around, using every scar, every little memory like a building block. Like a stone in a wall, until you’ve created a new person, a new life that you can live with.”
