Replying to Mauro's question, Cave adds, "to resist love and inoculate yourself against heartbreak is to reject life itself, for to love is your primary human function. A broken heart - that grief of love - is always love’s true destination. "Keep your heart narrow, hard, cynical, invulnerable, impenetrable, and shun small acts of kindness be not merciful, forgiving, generous or charitable - these acts expand the heart and make you susceptible to love - because as Neil Young so plainly and painfully sings, ‘Only love can break your heart.’ In short, resist love, because real love, big love, true love, fierce love, is a perilous thing, and travels surely towards its devastation. "Beware of the things that draw you to love - music, art, literature, cinema, philosophy, nature and religion," Cave continues. In short, love not the world and love nothing in it." Responding to both questions, Cave writes, "The surest way to avoid a broken heart is to love nothing and no-one - not your partner, your child, your mother or father, your brothers or sisters not your friends not your neighbour not your dog or your cat not your football team, your garden, your granny or your job. In the latest response on Cave's The Red Hand Files Q+A site, Cave answers two questions, one from 17-year-old Mauro, who asks Cave to tell them about love, and the second from Jenny in Paris, who asks: "How do I not have my heart broken?"
