Ignorance of the necessity for sexual intercourse to the health and virtue of both man and woman, is the most fundamental error in medical and moral philosophy.
George Drysdale, The Elements of Social Science, 1854
Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasureable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality; and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.
Fran Lebowitz
FANTASY LOVE IS MUCH BETTER THAN REALITY LOVE. NEVER DOING IT IS EXCITING. THE MOST EXCITING ATTRACTIONS ARE BETWEEN TWO OPPOSITES THAT NEVER MEET.
