All lovers swear more performance than they are able

All lovers swear more performance than they are able

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals in romantic relationships often make exaggerated promises or commitments that they cannot fulfill. It implies that when people are deeply in love, they might not consider their limitations realistically and tend to overpromise their capabilities. This may stem from the desire to impress or simply from living in the euphoria of love. However, it highlights the potential discrepancy between what lovers vow to do and what they subsequently achieve.

For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.
