quote

Cesare Pavese

L'amore ha la virtù di denudare non i due amanti l'uno di fronte all'altro, ma ciascuno dei due davanti a sé.

Love has the virtue of stripping bare not the two lovers in front of each other, but each of the two in front of themselves.

Info & reflection: love is not mutual exposure, it's a mirror of yourself. It puts you face to face with yourself, not with the other.
