Franklin Veaux
“There are many toxic myths about love, but perhaps the worst is that "love conquers all." This myth hurts us in all kinds of ways -- such as the untold zillions of hours and wasted tears spent by people trying to heal, reform or otherwise change a partner. Especially pernicious is the idea that we're supposed to "give until it hurts" -- in fact, for some of us, that the measure of our worth is our ability to give, right down to the last drop of ourselves. That is wrong. Love isn't supposed to hurt, and we should not and do not need to sacrifice our selves for good relationships.”
Franklin Veaux, More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory

“It is only proper to realize that language is largely a historical accident.”
John von Neumann, The Computer and the Brain

“They can be seen as givers in their inability to confront situations. This can have a benefit of appearing to be trying in a relationship, yet distancing themselves. This ultimately exhausts them and overwhelms them to the point of poor me.”
Dr. Sandra Smith-Hanen, Hiding In The Light: Understanding Avoidant Personality Disorder

Zeno of Citium
“When a dog is tied to a cart, if it wants to follow, it is pulled and follows, making its spontaneous act coincide with necessity. But if the dog does not follow, it will be compelled in any case. So it is with men too: even if they don't want to, they will be compelled to follow what is destined.”
Zeno of Citium

“I’m a home cook now; not a professional cook.”
