Food for thought, isn’t it? :P
Still, for a quote, here’s one from my father:
“I’m going to give you some advice
that I learned the hard way,
for I’ve grown old already
and had many disappointments:
if you love a woman,
love her in such a way
that you stop loving her
before she stops loving you,
because when it comes to love
it’s like a fight,
you must kill
or you must die,
and when it comes to dying,
anyone with sense prefers
the blow that kills
to the blow that makes you die.”
