"I also think that what's wrong with all of us is that we don't show enough love toward each other"
About this Quote
“Don’t show enough love” is doing the heavy lifting. He isn’t asking for private sentiment; he’s asking for visible behavior. In the world that made Little Richard, love is performative in the best sense: you prove it in how you treat people, who you make room for, who you touch with generosity when it would be easier to keep your distance. Coming from an architect of rock’s flamboyant freedom - a Black, Southern, gender-bending superstar who lived inside both church morality and nightclub release - the line carries subtext about how quickly communities police difference while starving people of basic tenderness.
Context matters: his career was a long argument with American respectability, and with his own. The quote reads like a truce proposal after decades of cultural whiplash: if you want less cruelty, stop waiting for love to arrive as a feeling and start acting like it’s a public duty.
