you shall love your crooked neighbour with your crooked heart
This line here is a quote from a book Alaska is reading as Miles is walking into her room when he stays at school with Alaska and a couple other friends over Thanksgiving. She asks him about the author's last words but he doesn't know him. Alaska says that you can learn so much about love and brokenness from this quote.
First of all I love the structure of the sentence. Something about repetitions intrigues me. Also, the message of this quote, as I interpret it, is that we are all imperfect and that we should love each other for our imperfections because that is what makes us human. Nothing in nature is perfect but that is what makes it so wild and we love nature for that ruthlessness. So fall in love with your own wildness and then love someone else's.
