You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones.
“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being ‘in love’, which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
Louis De Bernières, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin

“It’s there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And, and I look at you, and I… and I’m home. Please, I don’t want that to go away. I don’t want to forget.”
Dory, Finding Nemo
