god im reading a text about romance fiction (especially targeted at young adults) for class and one sentence in it literally made my brain explode because ive been thinking about this kind of stuff too, how “Many people wouldn’t fall in love if they’ve never heard about it before.” and like…imagine there was no ideal/overaccentuated image of love and romance painted in postmodern mass media….how would we love? would it be purer? more authentic? what would we do differently? would we fall in love at all if we werent constantly being fed an ideal concept of love as the norm in mass media? like what is a natural process of human feelings and what is just a projection of how we want to love and want to be loved based on what we’ve seen on tv and read in books etc? in this essay i will
w … wh … where’s the rest of the essay, op?
I’m pretty sure that this is a quote by French author François de La Rochefoucauld, who talked about this idea in his book The Moral Maxims:
“Il y a des gens qui n'auraient jamais été amoureux s'ils n'avaint jamais entendu parler de l'amour.”
There are people who would never be in love had they not heard [others] speak of love
Maxim 136. Variant translations:
“People would never fall in love if they hadn’t heard love talked about.”
“There are some people who would never have fallen in love if they had not heard there was such a thing.”(x)
By looking up the above translations, there are various articles on this quote, but I only found one on the subject of romantic fiction: “Romantic notions: does fiction warp our thinking about love?”
