Alain de Botton, On Love

Alain de Botton
“As Proust once said, classically beautiful women should be left to men without imagination.”
Alain de Botton, Essays In Love

Alain de Botton
“The forthrightness of the middle-aged seducer is rarely a matter of confidence or arrogance; it is instead a species of impatient despair born of a pitiful awareness of the ever-increasing proximity of death.”
Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

Simone de Beauvoir
“I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely. I have only myself”
Simone de Beauvoir

Alain de Botton
“Lovers may kill their own love story for no other reason than that they are unable to tolerate the uncertainty, the sheer risk, that their experiment in happiness has delivered.”
Alain de Botton
