"The more important moral is the difference between romance and love: an incomplete self versus a whole one; two half people looking for what they lack within themselves versus two whole people who can love each other as they really are. Thus, the reason romance is so intense and doomed is precisely because we are making love to the rest of ourselves.So I suggest this exercise as a hint of the wholeness that makes love possible: Write down - in whatever order they come to you - what you want in a romantic lover.
You have just described the rest of yourself." - Gloria Steinem.
