"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

"You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing.
For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache
about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long
strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable
at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength."
-- Henry Brooks Adams
