The Forgotten Libido

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.

Insightful! Here, I wanna try my hand at being "quotey":

All things that exist, are based in reality. Their significance is based in the subject, the one having the experience of reality, which/who is part of reality.

Which is just a bit more of a fancy way of saying "we really want what we want, for the real reasons that we really want them." I just laughed while writing this; funny expression, true observation.
