More From Bell Hooks

You don't fall in love because you fall in love; you fall in love because of the need, desperate, to fall in love. when you feel that need, you have to watch your step: like having drunk a philter, the kind that makes you fall in love with the first thing you meet. it could be a duck-billed platypus.

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.

This may sound like heresy, but it is the greatest truth! it is more difficult to let god love us, than to love him! the best way to love him in return is to open our hearts and let him love us. let him draw close to us and feel him close to us. this is really very difficult: letting ourselves be loved by him. and that is perhaps what we need to ask today in the mass: 'lord, i want to love you, but teach me the difficult science, the difficult habit of letting myself be loved by you, to feel you close and feel your tenderness ! may the lord give us this grace.

This i choose to do. if there is a price, this i choose to pay. if it is my death, then i choose to die. where this takes me, there i choose to go. i choose. this i choose to do.

All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... we do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents. we do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.

Romantic love is mental illness. but it's a pleasurable one. it's a drug. it distorts reality, and that's the point of it. it would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw. the second you meet someone that you're going to fall in love with you deliberately become a moron. you do this in order to fall in love, because it would be impossible to fall in love with any human being if you actually saw them for what they are.
