‘unrequited love maybe painful, but it is safely painful, because it does not involve inflicting damage on anyone but oneself. a private pain that is as bitter-sweet as it is self-induced. but as soon as love is reciprocated, one must be prepared to give up the passivity of simply being hurt to take on the responsibility of perpetrating hurt oneself.’
- Essay in Love, Chapter 6 - Marxism
