I Wish Someone Would Hurt You
Frank Sinatra to Shirley MacLaine:
“I wish someone would hurt you, Shirley . . . So I could kill ’em for you.”
What can I say about this quote from the Chairman of the Board? A street-elegance, a unique style and delivery . . . He seemed to me like a filter, you put in raw emotion and out came words, interesting, surprising words. This quote speaks to the fierceness of love. It describes the moment when love acquires such a level of ferocity that the love itself becomes the subject, instead of the lover or the loved. “My love is fierce—this fierce!”
