Bell Hooks Quotes About Romantic Relationships

Quotes about: Romantic Relationships

• schools for love do not exist. everyone assumes that we will know how to love instinctively. despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we still accept that the family is the primary school for love. those of us who do not learn how to love among family are expected to experience love in romantic relationships. however this love often eludes us.

  School, Elude Us, How To Love

  bell hooks (2018). “All About Love: New Visions”, p.26, HarperCollins

• To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.

  Bell Hooks

  Love, Believe, Giving

• Giving generously in romantic relationships, and in all other bonds, means recognizing when the other person needs our attention. Attention is an important resource.
