Jenna Roberson’s Reviews > All About Love: New Visions > Status Update

I have an entire notebook full of quotes from this book. Genius insight on all things human and i know I’ll come back to this book many times in my life

“Affection is only one ingredient of love. To truly love we must learn to mix various ingredients- care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, and trust, as well as honest and open communication”

“It is easier to articulate the pain of loves absence than to describe its presence and meaning in our lives”

“In everyday life males and females alike are relatively silent about love. Our silence shields us from uncertainty. We want to know love. We are simply afraid the desire to know too much about love will lead us closer and closer to the abyss of lovelessness” the recent explosion of “yearning” in mass media makes me believe our barriers are being fractured to accepting our baseline human desires: love

“Male fantasy is seen as something that can create reality, whereas female fantasy is regarded as pure escape” !!!!!!!!
