Okay, this page is about the shallow fabrication of the self-delusion that is love in modern day society, about how people have a fear of being alone and saying that they cannot live without another person is a way of not feeling alone, about how love is just an invention of the mind so that people don't feel as isolated as they really are, and about how love can hurt you more than you ever thought possible.



Love's horrible.



It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up.



You build up all these defences. You build up this whole armour for years so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.





Love gets inside you. It eats you inside and leaves you crying alone in the darkness. So a simple phrase such as "Maybe we should just be friends" turns in to a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love.

REVOL




All adolescent leaders of men FAILED. All love FAILS. If men of the calibre of Lenin and Trotsky failed, then how can anyone expect anything to change? Won't get fooled again.




My idea of love comes from a childhood glimpse of pornography. But there is no true love, just a finely tuned jealousy.




Once you're reduced to a couple, alone together between your four walls with your TV set, you're cut off.




Beauty is such a terrible thing, lovers wrapped inside each others lies.




Misery and trauma making love, with you I never felt more alone.




We realised that sex and love is a completely useless commodity.




A well-preserved virginity shows a limited capacity for love.




Being in love is just someone to share your boredom with.




Infidelity is a sign that you can't deal with self-hatred.




Sex is only one iota removed from a wank.




I gain no pleasure from sex anyway.




Our lips kiss empty, we fuck futility.




I find love a very alien concept.




 - Richey Edwards (Manic Street Preachers).






Love is a lie.




You told me that you loved me, I started tearing down those walls. I really started to trust you, but you set me up to take the fall. I guess that I'm wrong for falling in love, but you're still the one that I'm dreaming of. I guess its you that I wanna hold on to, but you're holding on to someone else. I guess I'm not ready to say goodbye.




Maybe I'll meet that special person. Then they'll break my heat and leave me crying. You fall in love, you break your heart, you fall in love again, it's never ending. Uninspired, and growing tired. Why am I always so attracted to trauma? What does it take to be happy? I guess I'm giving up on love now 'cos it really kinda sucks.




They say sometimes you need some time apart, but I've got a bad case of broken heart, and you're the only one who's got the cure. And I can't live another day without seeing you smile. I guess I'm the one to blame, relationships and heartbreak are one and the same. Here's to the broken hearted - a generation born in denial.




Broken heart again today. Just when I opened up my heart, the one you used to love came and ripped it right apart. I'm scarred by all the lies that were once promises you made. (Why do I never seem to learn that love is wrong?). If you think that you've found the one you really love, make sure they love you too.




I'm commited to insecurity and you. But this pen,  it can't write loneliness no more. Love is over-rated, it leaves you devastated. Heart ripped in 2. Love is blind and so unkind. And being alone isn't really all that bad.




 - Kirk Roe (The Ataris).





Prozac Nation.

If you take someone's thoughts and feelings away, bit by bit, consistantly, then they have nothing left except some gritty, gnawing, shitty little instinct, down there, somewhere, worming about in the gut, but so far down, so hidden, its impossible to find.



 - Elizabeth Wurtzel

There is no greater stupidity than for people to marry and so surrender themselves to the small miseries of domestic and private life.
