All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks
4.0
A very thought-provoking read! I’d recommend everyone to read this book and consider how we have received, are receiving, and give love. The book highlights not only romantic relationships but all - ourselves, children, friends, family, and our community. 4.5 ⭐️
A few quotes that stuck with me:
“When we are loving we openly and honestly express care, affection, responsibility, respect, commitment, and trust."
“care is a dimension of love, but simply giving care does not mean we are loving”
"To know love we have to tell the truth to ourselves and others. Creating a false self to mask fears and insecurities has become so common that many of us forget who we are and what we feel underneath the pretense. "
“True love is unconditional, but to truly flourish it requires an ongoing commitment to constructive struggle and change.”
