Book Quotes: All About Love by bell hooks

I started reading this book in 2021 but never finished it not because I didn’t like it. I just got distracted, put the book down for a while and forgot about it. I even shared some quotes from the book on my TikTok while I was still reading the book but never finished. In this fabled month of love, I decided to go back and read it. I’m share my favorite quotes from the book. Quotes that spoke to me.

1. “Echoing the work of Erich Fromm, he defines love as “the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.” Explaining further, he continues: “Love is as love does. Love is an act of will—namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.”
