About this Quote

This quote by Delmore Schwartz speaks with the power of love and nerve. Love is the most tough and harmful form of nerve due to the fact that it requires us to open ourselves approximately vulnerability and risk. It takes courage to love somebody, to trust them, and to be open up to the possibility of being hurt. On the other hand, nerve is the most desperate, exceptional, and honorable kind of love due to the fact that it requires us to take dangers and to face our fears. It takes nerve to defend what our company believe in, to combat for what is right, and to decide for what we love. Love and guts are intertwined, and both need us to be brave and to take threats. Love and guts are both necessary for living a significant life.
