Love, however, has its own dialectic. There was a young girl I was once in love with. Last summer at the theatre in Dresden I saw an actress who bore a deceptive resemblance to her. Because of this I wanted to make her acquaintance, and succeeded, and then convinced myself that there was a quite considerable difference all the same. Today I met a lady on the street who reminded me of that actress. This story can go on as long as you like.
Soren Kierkegaard, Either/Or, pg 344-345 (Penguin Classics)
I picked the title because I found a clip of Lorde and Haim doing a cover of the Sheryl Crow song "Strong Enough".
I then randomly opened up to a page in Either/Or. That's the first bit I saw. Not sure if they relate to each other but it's certainly interesting.
Give me a couple of days to think about this.
