Ironic that cupid makes people fall in love with an act of violence. The hippies want to pretend that love is the opposite of violence and war; that war is the utter absence of love, that the simple power of love will conquer the demons of hate and fear and the military industrial complex. I believe that love is (maybe not first and foremost) an act of violence. It doesn’t hurt, not at first, but it tears the heart in two. It’s an act of violence, and so help me if you even look at her the wrong way I’ll tear your fucking face off.
