Rebellion

When love is too great it becomes futile: it can no longer be put to use and not even the person loved has the capacity for so much love. I became as bemused as any child when I realized that even in love we must be sensible and show restraint. Our emotional life, alas, is extremely bourgeois. -- Clarice Lispector, Jornal do Brasil, November 9, 1968
