Quote by Bell Hooks

schools for love do not exist. everyone assumes that we will know how to love instinctively.despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we still accept that the family is the primary school for love.those of us who do not learn how to love among family are expected to experience love in romantic relationships. however this love often eludes us.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that love is not something that can be taught in a formal setting such as schools. It suggests that society often assumes individuals will naturally know how to love without any explicit guidance. While the family is often seen as the primary source of learning how to love, the quote challenges this notion by suggesting that not everyone learns this essential skill within their family dynamics. Consequently, the quote suggests that individuals often struggle to find and maintain love in romantic relationships because they lack proper understanding or guidance in this aspect of life.
