It is much too pliable, too yielding.

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists....

the lack of the other half of ourselves.

That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
?Goncourt

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive?
Love is everything it's cracked up to be.

And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

with joyous amazement, that this was for life.
?Thomas Mann

or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage
and then turn down their flames.
?Thomas Moore
A man reserves his true and deepest love not for

Easy-going enough once you acknowledge his power.

Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.
