But to be liked, you must never disagree. And if you never disagree, it’s like only breathing in and never breathing out! A man can suffocate on courtesy.
-Henry David Thoreau: The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail
We love without knowing it. A man—or a woman—can’t love on schedule. I don’t wake up in the morning and say: “I shall start loving at nine-twenty, and continue until ten-fifteen.” Yes, it is accidental. And it’s everywhere—it’s the wind, the tide, the waves, the sunshine.

We are constantly invited to be who we are.
