“Do they still call it infatuation? That magic ax that chops away the world in one blow, leaving only the couple standing there trembling? Whatever they call it, it leaps over anything, takes the biggest chair, the largest slice, rules the ground wherever it walks, from a mansion to a swamp, and its selfishness is its beauty.... People with no imagination feed it with sex -- the clown of love. They don't know the real kinds, the better kinds, where losses are cut and everybody benefits. It takes a certain intelligence to love like that -- softly, without props.” PeopleKnowsWorldLoveKindStillsRealCertainSexImaginationLossWalksCuttingMagicCoupleBenefitsStandingLeavingBlowSelfishnessChairsLeapInfatuationClownTremblingPropsMansionsSwampsStanding There Author:Toni Morrison
