"Love is predicated on receptivity, on opening up again and again and
again to your beloved, each time afresh. To do this, you have to let go
of insisting that he or she conform to your standards for what a lover
should look like, do, be, say, and instead allow him or her to simply be
him or herself. Then you take it from there. To do otherwise, to
continually choose who you wish this person was over who he or she
actually is, is, well, it’s not love. I don’t know what it is."
