Quote by Jodi Picoult

What if love wasn't the act of finding what you were missing but the give-and-take that made you both match?

What if love wasn't the act of finding what you were missing

Summary

This quote challenges the conventional idea of love as solely about finding a missing piece in another person. Instead, it suggests that love is about the mutual exchange and connection between two individuals that helps them complement each other. It implies that love is not just about filling a void, but about coming together in a harmonious way where both partners enhance each other's lives. This quote invites reflection on the idea that a successful and fulfilling relationship involves a reciprocal and balanced give-and-take between each person's strengths and weaknesses.

A quarter-horse jockey learns to think of a twenty-second race as if it were occurring across twenty minutes--in distinct parts, spaced in his consciousness. Each nuance of the ride comes to him as he builds his race. If you can do the opposite with deep time, living in it and thinking in it until the large numbers settle into place, you can sense how swiftly the initial earth packed itself together, how swiftly continents have assembled and come apart, how far and rapidly continents travel, how quickly mountains rise and how quickly they disintegrate and disappear.
