Quote by Jean Baudrillard

There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other's heart.

There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that love relationships involve a certain amount of emotional investment from each person involved. This investment is not just about experiencing positive emotions and pleasure but also about the potential for taking risks by puting their own heart on the line. It suggests that in a loving relationship, each person holds a certain "capital" of emotions and the ability to take a gamble with their vulnerability, which can either lead to a deeper connection or a potential loss.

I don't want to fail, of course. But even though I didn't know how bad things really were, I still had a lot to think about before I said yes. I had to consider the implications for Pixar, for my family, for my reputation. I decided that I didn't really care, because this is what I want to do.
