Love is a volcano, the crater of which no wise man will approach too nearly, lest ... he should be swallowed up.

Charles Caleb Colton

The plainest man that can convince a woman that he is really in love with her has done more to make her in love with him than the handsomest man, if he can produce no such conviction. For the love of woman is a shoot, not a seed, and flourishes most vigorously only when ingrafted on that love which is rooted in the breast of another.

This is how life works. Deciding whom to love is not an alien form of decision-making , a romantic interlude in the midst of normal life.

Living is an inherently emotional business.
