“One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it, like any knight of the grail, and the journey is always towards the other soul, not away from it. . . . To love you have to learn to understand the other, more than she understands herself, and to submit to her understanding of you. It is damnably difficult and painful, but it is the only thing which endures.” SoulSufferingDifficultUnderstandingDealsJourneyLove YouEndurePainfulSubmitKnights Author:D. H. Lawrence
“Altruism is for those who can't endure their desires. There's a world as ambiguous as a moan, a pleasure moan our earnest neighbors might think a crime. It's where we could live. I'll say I love you, Which will lead, of course, to disappointment, but those words unsaid poison every next moment. I will try to disappoint you better than anyone else has. --Mon Semblable” ThinkingWorldTryingMomentsMightDesireCoursesNextPleasureLove YouCrimeEndureDisappointmentNeighborPoisonAltruismEarnestDisappointAmbiguousSay I Love YouUnsaid Book:New and Selected Poems 1974-1994 Source: New and Selected Poems 1974-1994
