VINICIUS DE MORAIS
attributed, The New York Times Biographical Service, 1991
If you love someone, when it's the most real, the most important thing in your life, it's not enough to coast. You need to dig in those footers, start building on that base. You want something to last, you put your back into it.

GEORGE ELIOT
Daniel Deronda

When he falls in love the whole thing is shifted; he becomes a part of the circumference--perhaps even the whole circumference; someone else becomes the centre.
