view on love
I've been in love before
Its like a narcotic.
At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender.
The next day you want more.
You are not addicted yet, but you like the sensation,
and you think you can still control things.
You think about the person you love for two minutes,
and forget them for three hours.
But then you get used to that person,
and you begin to be completely dependent on them.
Now you think about him for three hours
and forget him for two minutes.
If he's not there, you feel like an addict who can't get a fix.
And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves
to get what they need,
you're willing to anything for love.
-- By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, Paolo Coelho
"Love is a prison.
Its unrealistic to suppose its not.
Everybody's possibilities solidify round them
and become limitations.
Its common. "
-- The Game, A.S Byatt
