Alain de Botton
The thing is that love gives us a ringside seat on somebody else's flaws, so of course you're gonna spot some things that kinda need to be mentioned. But often the romantic view is to say, 'If you loved me, you wouldn't criticise me.' Actually, true love is often about trying to teach someone how to be the best version of themselves.

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows...When the mind is empty, silent, when it is in a state...Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked...The word love has by no means the same sense...Health is not valued till sickness comes...Together we can change the world...
