Quote by Cassandra Clare

Love is a contradiction.

Love is a contradiction.

Summary

Love is a contradiction because it encompasses both joy and pain. It is a beautiful feeling that brings immense happiness and contentment, but it can also bring heartbreak and sorrow. Love can be both selfless and selfish, being a source of both healing and destruction. It is a paradoxical and complex emotion that cannot be fully understood or defined. Love challenges and transcends logic, challenging our expectations and breaking all the rules. It is this contradiction that makes love so powerful and profoundly human, as it is capable of both bringing us our greatest joys and exposing our deepest vulnerabilities.

No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.
