“Why does the longing for love have to be so acute, like a desperate thirst? Is it because love is wanting to be saved and we can never really be saved? Maybe love is really born of our fears. Love is the heart’s desire for a painkiller; a tearful plea for a great big epidural. Yes that’s it: love is the only anesthesia that really works. And so people with broken hearts are really those who are just coming to, and if you’ve ever seen someone come out of general anesthesia, you know that it looks a lot like the beginnings of a broken heart.” PeopleIfsKnowsLooksHeartDoeBigsDesireBornLove IsBrokenLongingSavedDesperateThirstFear Of LoveAnesthesiaPainkillersMaybe LoveEpidurals Author:Jonathan Hull

“My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.” BeautifulBornLove IsViolenceTreePaintingEatingViolentLandscapeScreamInsectsFear Of DeathParts Of LifeMosquitoesMaybe LoveBeautiful Landscapes Author:Francis Bacon
