Do any men grow up or do they only come of age? - Stephen King

True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring — once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome… except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true first love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners.
And, as is true of any other strong and addicting drug, true first love is dangerous.

You learned to accept, or you ended up in a small room writing letters home with Crayolas.

and so will the world end, I think, a victim of love rather than hate. For love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure.
