“There is no more sincere tone of voice than that of a person in love.”

“Thinking that the person you love belongs to you is sick, harmful and it is not love, but a limited toxic relationship. Because no one belongs to anyone, we are independent, free and there is no other owner than ourselves.”

“Not everything that happens to a trans person is because they are trans. Not everything that happens to a black person is because they are black. Not everything that happens to a bald person is because they are bald. For where there is no respect, there are consequences.”

“Beyond romanticism, true love is not the better half we dream of, that will solve our problems or make us feel complete, if we do not contribute the same to the other person.”

“Most people in the west have trouble figuring out or understanding what is attachment, you know. What do you mean there's a difference in love and attachment, how do i know the two? How can i tell them apart? Well, it's excactly what you just described. What attachment is, is ego projecting onto other people, so you don't even see that person, you don't even see the actuallity of who or what the person is. You think you see who you think they are, you see who you feel that they are, so if you think you love that person, you don't actually love that person because you can't even see them, you don't see them as infinite consciousness, you see them as wathever you're projecting on them. Therefore if you can't even see the other person, much less love them. You have to get trought the attachment before you can expierence true love and you can't get trought the attachment until you start to see that it is like a projective quality of ego.”

“Wanting to have a happy life with the person you love is like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are an animal defender.”

“No hay consejo más bienintencionado y sincero que el de una buena persona.”

“Any passion can become an addiction; but then how to distinguish between the two? The central question is: who's in charge, the individual or their behaviour? It's possible to rule a passion, but an obsessive passion that a person is unable to rule is an addiction… if in doubt, ask yourself one simple question: given the harm you're doing to yourself and others, are you willing to stop? If not, you're addicted. And if you're unable to renounce the behaviour or to keep your pldege when you do, you're addicted.”
