“The love of artists or mystics is often "artificial." Because they find beauty in thought alone, intimacy in invention, or ecstasy in silence. They love whom they choose, not whom the outer world permits. Because they do not carry the outer world within their inner world; rather, it is their inner world that holds power over the external one. Therefore, they do not love the person presented by the outer world but the one portrayed by their inner world. And that is not the person’s "real" self. Therefore, they do not love the person presented by the outer world but the one presented by their own inner world. And that is not the person’s "real" self, but an "imagined" version of them.”
