Love is the most democratic experience that exists
"Love
is the most democratic experience that exists. When one empathizes
with another, another human being or another creature: all the barriers
go down, all the boundaries are eliminated, all the distinctions in
status and class goes by the wayside because if I empathize with you or
another being basically I'm saying I feel you as if you are me."

“Love is scary. Love is risky. Love is unsafe. Love isn’t for the faint of heart. Love takes courage. Love and fear can’t coexist. Love means giving people permission to break your heart—over and over and over.”
