When Love Fails

April 7, 2008 · 1 Comment

“It will go wrong, this love; it probably will. That contorted organ, like a lump of ox meat, is devious and enclosed. Our current model for the universe is entropy, which at the daily level translated as: things fuck up. But when love fails us, we must still go on believing in it. Is it encoded in every molecule that things fuck up, that love will fail? Perhaps it is. Still we must believe in love, just as we must believe in free will and objective truth. And when love fails, we should blame the history of the world.”

–-Julian Barnes, A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters
