page turner part two
"Love knows no virtue, no profit; it loves and forgives and suffers everything, because it must. It is not our judgment that leads us; it is neither the advantages nor the faults which we discover that make us abandon ourselves or that repel us.
It is a sweet, soft, enigmatic power that drives us on. We cease to think, to feel, to will; we let ourselves be carried away by it, and ask not whither."
How does a book written 150 years ago, touch upon something so perfectly. Love and desire are truly timeless, no matter how many cultural and social evolutions we believe we go through, that revolutionise the way we perceive and look at love and lust, we are evolved animals, but animals all the same, but some where deep inside we are chained to the divine we hold dear, not just in perceived faith or God, but in love and beauty. Sacred, but ultimately corruptible in is purity, perfect but flawed in away that make us love more deeply, slaves we truly are to this un controllable desire, this fire that is tempered with in us all.
