The Unofficial Luis Hurtado™ Fan Club - All Hurtado, All the Time

[ Milton Glaser, designer of, “I Heart NY” pictured holding a quote from writer / philosopher, Iris Murdoch. ]

My first instinct on quotes of love are that they’re sappy, mushy and overly-romantic. I felt compelled to chronicle this piece, because it speaks of love so simply and most importantly, realistically.

Clearly, running my own fan club shows I’m no stranger to narcissism. In these contemporary, rush, rush, rush times, we’re constantly looking for that - what can you do for me? type ‘instant fix.’ I do not discount myself from the group. Plastic persona’s are a fact of life, this quote cuts through all of that bullshit.

This quote shows what love truly is all about, the moment you think about that person, they make you take a step back and you’re truly grateful to have met someone who you know for a fact is just as ‘real’ of a human being as you are.
