Quotes

The transformative power of love is not fully embraced in our society because we often wrongly believe that torment and anguish are our ‘natural’ condition. Bell Hooks
Knowing hot to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape. Bell Hooks
Bell Hooks quote: "I began writing a book on love because I felt that the United..."
I began writing a book on love because I felt that the United States is moving away from love. Bell Hooks
The power of patriarchy has been to make maleness feared and to make men feel that it is better to be feared that to be loved. Whether they can confess this or not, men know that just is not true. Bell Hooks
Reviewing the literature on love I noticed how few writers, male or female, talk about the impact of patriarchy, the way in which male domination of women and children stands in the ways of love. Bell Hooks
Bell Hooks quote: "Our hearts connect with lots of folks in a lifetime but most..."
Our hearts connect with lots of folks in a lifetime but most of us will go to our graves with no experience of true love. Bell Hooks
I want there to be a place in the world where people can engage in one another’s differences in a way that is redemptive, full of hope and possibility. Not this “In order to love you, I must make you something else”. That’s what domination is all about, that in order to be close to you, I must possess you, remake and recast you. Bell Hooks
If you do not know what you feel, then it is difficult to choose love; it is better to fall. Then you do not have to be responsible for your actions. Bell Hooks
The one person who will never leave us, whom we will never lose, is ourself. Learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin. Bell Hooks
When angels speak of love they tell us it is only by loving that we enter an earthly paradise. They tell us paradise is our home and love our true destiny. Bell Hooks
Bell Hooks quote: "Couples who rarely or never have sex can know lifelong love."
Couples who rarely or never have sex can know lifelong love. Bell Hooks
I have been thinking about the notion of perfect love as being without fear, and what that means for us in a world that's becoming increasingly xenophobic, tortured by fundamentalism and nationalism. Bell Hooks
We fear that evaluating our needs and then carefully choosing partners will reveal that there is no one for us to love. Most of us prefer to have a partner who is lacking than no partner at all. What becomes apparent is that we may be more interested in finding a partner than in knowing love. Bell Hooks
Bell Hooks quote: "Imagine how much easier it would be for us to learn how to..."
Imagine how much easier it would be for us to learn how to love if we began with a shared definition. Bell Hooks
Bell Hooks quote: "Living simply makes loving simple."
Living simply makes loving simple. Bell Hooks
