De Beauvoir: “ After the Enlightenment discounted all love as a malfunction of reason, the Romantics reclaimed it and revised the ancient taxonomy into a hierarchy, under the tyranny of which we still live, placing eros at the pinnacle of human existence. And yet our deepest relationships — the ones in which we both become most fully ourselves and are most emboldened to change — tend to elude the commonplace classifications and to shape-shift across the span of life.”
Deeply affected by your lovely flow "To try and learn and fail in new ways. To remain open to changing my mind. To love radically and openly and often, and to let that love make me brave." Thank you, Susanne (very poor, writer, Australian, 79) XS
