“Love could be set in motion quickly, but true love needed time to grow into something strong and enduring.”

“love wasn't possible in just a couple of days. Love could be set in motion quickly, but true love needed time to grow into something strong and enduring. Love was, above all, about commitment and dedication and a belief that spending years with a certain person would create something greater than the sum of what the two can accomplish separately.”

“Romance is a bubble which will burst. True love is a seed which will grow into a tree, something strong and beautiful to lean on.”

“Superstition, like true love, needs time to grow and reflect upon itself.”

“Endure. In enduring, grow strong.”

“True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring — once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome… except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true first love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners. And, as is true of any other strong and addicting drug, true first love is dangerous.”
