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.

We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us

We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us humans only have so much love to give, and that it comes in a standard round unit: one. After all, we associate love with the heart, and, well, you've either got a whole heart, or you're dead, period. You can't, common wisdom goes, just run around dividing that one heart up freely; to claim to do so means that you're either a fool, or you're dividing up something that is dead.

Why was the human race created? Or at least why wasn't something creditable created in place of it? God had His opportunity. He could have made a reputation. But no, He must commit this grotesque folly -- a lark which must have cost Him a regret or two when He came to think it over and observe effects.
