“But admiration is not love. Love wants proximity, reciprocity, the acceptance of vulnerability. Love alone does not say what we spend our lives saying, all the time, to everyone: 'I am worth more than you.' Love has other ways of finding reassurance, another authority that doesn't come from above but below.” — Emmanuel Carrère
