“Then she realized that what love is all about is heartbreak. And when you realize that what love is all about is heartbreak, you’re all right. But if you think it’s about fulfillment, happiness, satisfaction, union, all of that stuff, you’re in for even more heartbreak.” ~ James Hillman
There’s a reason we call it “falling in love,” and not “rising in love.” To be in love is fall down; it’s to descend, to obsess, to suffer, to be mad. The person in love has no other choice than to be in love, for who would choose to spend their days in such a state?
Falling in love: seems like a funny thing to want, no?
