Deb Caletti Love Quotations

One of the most constant and sustaining truths of my life has been this: I love the library.

It's human nature to want to help and soothe and save with your love, but it's also arrogant.

We are all a volume on a shelf of a library, a story unto ourselves, never possibly described with one word or even very accurately with thousands. A person is never as quiet or unrestrained as they seem, or as bad or good, as vulnerable or as strong, as sweet or as fiesty; we are thickly layered, page upon lying page, behind simple covers. And love - it is not the book itself, but the binding. It can rip us apart or hold us together.

We are thickly layered, page lying upon page, behind simple covers. And love - it is not the book itself, but the binding.

That's what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you're not so lovable.

You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for.

When your arms are out wide, you'll capture love and joy and golden moments but other things, too. Mistrust will sneak in on a wave of that joy, and complications will ride the backs of the golden moments, and there will be both love and the risks of love. That's the way it is. That's the design.
