I know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
