Michael Davidow Quotes

Love to love, connection to connection, you carve your complicated path through life; leave one love behind, and the next one always seems out of reach. What can buoy you up in the meantime. What can underlie love, but love.

~ Michael Davidow

And when you fall, because you always do fall. When you swim for the beach to catch your board. There’s peace to be found in the shoreward pull with every passing wave.

~ Michael Davidow

To hold power in this world is to know things that others do not want to know.

~ Michael Davidow

They were free to be what they wanted to be, and what they wanted to be was nothing.

~ Michael Davidow

People believe in something, they themselves don’t know what it is, it isn’t a good thing, but it stands for a good thing. Because all belief stands for something that’s better. All belief comes from wanting to believe. People aren’t up to the real thing, though. So they substitute. And that harms them. It’s the problem of problems. I like it a lot.
