“Love is supposed to change you, and it will. This is how we determine the quality of a relationship: by the person we become when we're in it. People always say the opposite – that you should never change for someone else – but with the right person, you will evolve rapidly. The right person will show you the very best parts of you, and you'll want to be your best self for them. 

This is the kind of love worth choosing, worth sacrificing for: not that which accepts unconditionally, but which sees the best in you, and inspires you to be more, and more, and more. This is the kind of love you want to last a lifetime. The kind that you will get to the end of your days and think: I would be a fraction of the person I am had I not been with them. ”
— Brianna Wiest, A Fraction of the Whole

“We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.”
— Tom Robbins, The Perfect Love
Tagged: Philosophy, Love
“The truth is that the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you’ll see their flaws. That’s just the way it is. This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned, why friendships don’t last. You might think you love someone until you see the way they act when they’re out of money or under pressure or hungry, for goodness’ sake. Love is something different. Love is choosing to serve someone and be with someone in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind, love is deliberate. Love is hard. Love is pain and sacrifice, it’s seeing the darkness in another person and defying the impulse to jump ship.”
— Melanie Williams, Our Filthy Heart
Tagged: Philosophy, Love
“We are sensitized by the books we read. And the more books we read, and the deeper their lessons sink into us, the more pairs of glasses we have. And those glasses enable us to see things we would have otherwise missed.”

“And then one day it hit me. Something of real consequence was happening. We were at the start of a great renaissance of public shaming. After a lull of almost 180 years (public punishments were phased out in 1837 in the United Kingdom and in 1839 in the United States), it was back in a big way. When we deployed shame, we were utilizing an immensely powerful tool. It was coercive, borderless, and increasing in speed and influence. Hierarchies were being leveled out. The silenced were getting a voice. It was like the democratization of justice.”
