Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch

Summary

This quote suggests that love is not about overpowering or overwhelming another person.

It signifies the beauty in the meeting of two separate solitudes, where protection, touch, and greetings serve as expressions of affection and connection between the two.

I can't believe that we have reached the end of everything. The red dust is frightening. The carbon dioxide is real. Water is expensive. Bio-tech has created as many problems as it has fixed, but we're here, we're alive, we're the human race, we have survived wars and terrorism and scarcity and global famine, and we have made it back from the brink, not once but many times. History is not a suicide note - it's a record of our survival.
