“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so
vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means
that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these
defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt
you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person,
wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t
ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at
you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It
gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness,
so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a
glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in
the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real
gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
- Neil Gaiman, The Sandman Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones
