Quote by Bell Hooks
Individuals who want to believe that there is no fulfillment in love, that true love does not exist, cling to these assumptions because this despair is actually easier to face than the reality that love is a real fact of life but is absent from their lives.
Summary
This quote suggests that some people prefer to believe that love is not fulfilling and does not truly exist. They hold on to this belief as a way to cope with their own lack of love in their lives. The idea of love being non-existent is easier for them to confront rather than facing the harsh reality that love exists, but they do not have it. This highlights the emotional struggle some individuals may have in acknowledging and accepting their own loneliness or absence of love.
