"I can only handle this book (Sedaris too, probably) in small doses. It's exhausting. One second I'm laughing (as he likes to make himself the butt of his own jokes) and the next I'm bruised by how he catches me off guard with painful truths highlighting the human condition. I'll keep reading, as I feel myself to be more illuminated with every page, however uncomfortable it might be." Apr 25, 2013 09:03AM

“The skill of becoming and remaining attuned to another's emotional rhythms requires a solid investment of years.”
Thomas Lewis, A General Theory of Love

“In a dazzling vote of confidence for form over substance, our culture fawns over the fleetingness of being “in love” while discounting the importance of loving.”
Thomas Lewis, A General Theory of Love

“When you are not afraid of grief, you will make better choices.”
Susan J Elliott, Getting Past Your Breakup

Emily Dickinson
“If I can stop one Heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can Ease one life the Aching,
Or cool one Pain

Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again,
I shall not live in Vain.”
Emily Dickinson

“Because loving is reciprocal physiologic influence, it entails a deeper and more literal connection than most realize. Limbic regulation affords lovers the ability to modulate each other’s emotions, neurophysiology, hormonal status, immune function, sleep rhythms, and stability. If one leaves on a trip, the other may suffer insomnia, a delayed menstrual cycle, a cold that would have been fought off in the fortified state of togetherness.”
Thomas Lewis, A General Theory of Love
