"There is no use in loving things if you have to be torn from them, is there? And it's so hard to keep from loving things, isn't it?"

Previous Quote

It is to be broken. It is to be torn open. It is not to be reached and come to rest in ever. I turn against you, I break from you, I turn to you. We hurt, and are hurt, and have each other for healing. It is healing. It is never whole.

— Wendell Berry
