A quote by Jorge Luis Borges
Relationships are like gazing into clear, bottomless pools of water. Look hard enough and you’ll meet the eyes of your own reflection. Stare into the soul of someone else long enough, and you’ll fall deeper into the abyss of yourself. The more you love the person in front of you, the more you understand yourself.
Grace Capobianco • The Autonomy of Monogamy
Love. What is it, really, but the great delusion that this other person is special, uniquely precious in all the universe? And yet it’s a delusion we crave. We can’t live without some base of it, some eyes that mirror back our infant smiles with amazement and wonder, as if no child had ever smiled before.

Nicolas Truong • In Praise of Love
In desperate love, it’s always like this, isn’t it? In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding that they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.
