“Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same.”
― Michel Foucault

“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.'

― Maggie Nelson, Bluets

“The practice of love offers no place of safety. We risk loss, hurt, pain. We risk being acted upon by forces outside our control.”
― Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions

“To ask for an explanation is to explain the obscure by the more obscure.”
― Maurice Merleau-Ponty
