““Love is a strange and mystical force. It leads you down avenues you would never otherwise tread. It is always - always - about so much more than the coming together of two people. When life wants you to... take a step forward... when it wants you to learn something... it sends you love as a way to make sure that happens. If we want to live a life, we listen. But it is not for the faint-hearted. Love is no pretty storybook emotion. It is like the sea. It is the most beautiful and powerful thing there is. But it also has the potential to destroy everything. It takes lives, changes lives, beguiles us and lures us and disappoints us. It breaks hearts. It can send you mad. To think of love and marriage as one and the same thing is like thinking that the sea and a bucket of water are the same. Only humans could mistake themselves so.””
