• Winds of May, that dance on the sea,
  Dancing a ring-around in glee
  From furrow to furrow, while overhead
  The foam flies up to be garlanded,
  In silvery arches spanning the air,
  Saw you my true love anywhere?
  Welladay! Welladay!
  For the winds of May!
  Love is unhappy when love is away!

  James Joyce

  Air, Wind, Sea

• I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts
  because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace.
  “If I feel peaceful,” they say, “why would I bother taking action at all?”
  My answer is “Because that's what love does.”
  To think that we need sadness or outrage
  to motivate us to do what's right is insane.
  As if the clearer and happier you get, the less kind you become.
  As if when someone finds freedom, she just sits around all day
  with drool running down her chin.
  My experience is the opposite.
  Love is action.

  Byron Katie

• You love tenderly and warmly, but your love is like friendship. That's why you have good friends, you're sociable, sympathetic toward people. Until this dissatisfaction comes over you-you know what I'm talking about. Then you become moody, can even repulse people who are close to you, even people who love you, you know why. Those are bad times when everything goes cold, and they follow the times of great love.

  Christa Wolf

  Love You, Good Friend, Talking

• Love is only surpassing sweet when it is directed toward a mortal object, and the secret of this ultimate sweetness only is defined by the bitterness of death. Thus the white peoples of the world foresee a time when their land with its rivers and mountains still lies under heaven as it does today, but other people dwell there; when their language is entombed in books, and their laws and customs have lost their living power.

  Franz Rosenzweig

• I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity, to name a few.
