Love Quote #2625737

A love story can never be about full possession. The happy marriage,

A love story
can never be about full possession.
The happy marriage, the requited love, the desire that never dims:
these are lucky eventualities but they aren't love stories.
Love stories depend on DISAPPOINTMENT,
              on unequal births and feuding families,
                                       on matrimonial [boredom] and 
                                                                at least one cold heart.
Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name. 
We value love not because it's stronger than death
                                                                       but because it's weaker.
Say what you want about love:
         DEATH WILL FINISH IT.
                                                                       You will not go on loving in the grave,
                                 not in any physical way that will at all resemble love as we know it on earth.

The perishable nature of love is what gives love its
                             importance in our lives.

If it were endless,
                              if it were on tap,     
                                                           love wouldn't hit us the way it does. 


And we certainly wouldn't write about it.
