Nothing holds love together like shared vice or collusive perversion.

All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by two emotions--fear or love. In truth there are only two emotions--only two words in the language of the soul....

Fear grasps, love lets go. Fear rankles, love soothes. Fear attacks, love amends.
