Summary

This quote describes the way love can unexpectedly overwhelm someone, much like falling asleep. Love often begins gradually and steadily, until suddenly it fully consumes one's heart and mind. Just as sleep can gradually sweep someone away before suddenly taking hold completely, so too does love slowly and then suddenly capture one's emotions and bring them into a state of deep affection or infatuation.

A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.
