“Joining a radical movement when one is young is very much like falling in love when one is young. The girl may turn out to be rotten, but the the experience of love is so valuable it can never be entirely undone by the ultimate disenchantment.” MayYoungTurnsFallGirlLove IsMovementUltimateFalling In LoveValuableRadicalRottenJoiningUndoneDisenchantment Book:Neoconservatism: The Autobiography of an Idea Source: Neoconservatism: The Autobiography of an Idea
“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
“Many great persons have been of opinion that love is no other thing than complacency itself, in which they have had much appearance of reason. For not only does the movement of love take its origin from the complacency which the heart feels at the first approach of good, and find its end in a second complacency which returns to the heart by union with the thing beloved--but further, it depends for its preservation on this complacency, and can only subsist through it as through its mother and nurse; so that as soon as the complacency ceases, love ceases.” LoveFeelsFirstsHeartPersonsDoeHas BeensEndsReasonMotherLove IsOpinionMovementDependsReturnApproachUnionsAppearanceCeaseBelovedNursePreservationComplacencyGreat Person Book:The Saint Francis de Sales Collection [16 Books] Source: The Saint Francis de Sales Collection [16 Books]
