"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake
and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make
a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have
become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that
you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not
the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just
being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being 'in love' has
burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards
each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms
had fallen from our branches we found that we were
one tree and not two."
--St. Augustine
