Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“If we choose to fabricate a fictional narrative in order to excuse the choices that we make, we are placing others in a position where they must protect themselves from our narrative. And in doing that, we have created the enemy that was not.”

“When lovers say of some act that we might blame, "Love made us do it," notice the tone. A man saying, "I did it because I was frightened," or "I did it because I was angry," speaks quite differently. He is putting forward an excuse for what he feels to require excusing. But the lovers are seldom doing quite that. Notice how tremulously, almost how devoutly, they say the word love, not so much pleading an "extenuating circumstance" as appealing to an authority. The confession can be almost a Boast. There can be a shade of defiance in it. They "feel like martyrs". In extreme cases what their words really express is a demure yet unshakable allegiance to the god of love.”
