The Bitter End

"Seduce my mind and you can have my body, find my soul and I'm forever yours. Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. [Being "in love", any fool can do] Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
