I really don’t like this book but I’m gonna finish it!

To love is not worth it. The benefits, whatever they are, are mostly a comfort from the relentless emptiness of being human, a separate being alone in the world. They are not worth putting yourself at the mercy of others. This isn't a secret, I said this to people, I even said it to my students. To love is to be taken hostage, boys, it's Stockholm syndrome.
