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. Because that 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 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. . . . We have roots that grow toward each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from our leaves, we will find that we are one tree and not two.--from Corelli's Mandolin by Louis De Bernieres
