What do you do with an insight like "love is everything"? I wondered aloud. "Is a platitude so deeply felt still just a platitude?"
No, I decided: "A platitude is precisely what is left of a truth after it has been drained of all emotion. To resaturate that dried husk with feeling is to see it again for what it is: the loveliest and most deeply rooted of truths, hidden in plain sight."
--Michael Pollan
