“Love is something difficult and it is more difficult than other things because in other conflicts nature herself enjoins men to collect themselves, to take themselves firmly in the hand with all their strength, while in the heightening of love the impulse is to give oneself wholly away.” MenGivingHandsDifficultLove IsConflictOneselfImpulse Book:Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties: Translations and Considerations Source: Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties: Translations and Considerations
“The man who is not frightened of life is not frightened of being completely insecure for he understands that inwardly, psychologically, there is no security.....When there is no security there is an endless movement and then life and death are the same....The man who lives without conflict, who lives with beauty and love, is not frightened of death because to love is to die.” MenLife IsDiesLove IsSecurityMovementHe ManConflictAnd LoveEndlessLife And DeathFrightenedInsecureBeauty And Love Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“The word 'innocence' means 'incapable of being hurt'. To have a mind that is not capable of being hurt, does not mean that it has built up a lot of resistance - on the contrary, such a mind is dying to everything that it has known in which there has been conflict, pleasure and pain. Only then is the mind innocent; that means it can love. You cannot love with memory, love is not a matter of remembrance, of time.” MindMeanDoeHas BeensMatterPainHurtMemoriesLove IsPleasureKnownDyingLove YouConflictCapableBuiltContraryResistanceInnocentInnocenceIncapableRemembrancePain And PleasureBeing Hurt Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“I'm afraid, as true as love is, it is tested by circumstance and sometimes you don't make the best choices. As much as the fans claim [that] all they want is just want people sitting around and having a nice time together, trust me, you would not be watching the show if there wasn't conflict, if there wasn't drama, if there wasn't jeopardy. And it's not just physical jeopardy, it's romantic jeopardy as well.” PeopleIfsWantWellsSometimesShowsTogetherChoicesLove IsNiceFansCircumstancesDramaConflictSittingClaimsTestedTrust MeSitting AroundJeopardyTime TogetherNice Time Author:Joseph Dougherty
