In Defense of Love: An Argument by Ron Rosenbaum

 

"If love is resistant to reductionism, then what is that 'other nature' it seems to inhabit? Does that mean it exists independently of earthbound causality? Is it Shakespeare's 'uncaused cause/that alters not when it alteration finds'? Or is that just mysticism? Is it when you see a stranger across a crowded room and 'suddenly' you know? What is it you know?"
