The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and the vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. Loving makes love. Loving makes itself. We waste time looking for the perfect lover instead of creating the perfect love.
We are our own dragons as well as our own heroes. We have to save ourselves from ourselves.
I'm currently reading Tom Robbin's "Still Life with Woodpecker" and it's really good. These are just a couple of my favorite lines.
