"Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence.
There is the
same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted
lamp and one that is burning.
The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is
shedding light too, and that is its real function.
And love makes one calmer about
many things, and that way, one is more fit for ones' work."
~ Vincent Van Gogh
