Ideas of Love
1. man's grand delusion that one woman differs from another;
2. sea of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses;
3. what Plato described as "a grave mental disease";
4. something they say is blind - it's marriage which is the real eye opener;
5. that emotion which is not true until returned;
6. that delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she
looks like a haddock {John Barrymore};
7. what we have in common with the residents of all third-world countries;
8. is like measles - much worse when it comes late in life;
9. the most slippery word in the human language - used by knaves to seduce, by fools for
comfort, and by most men to placate the female of the species;
10. the only fire for which there is no insurance;
11. an emotion, even if unreturned, has its rainbow;
12. the crocodile in the river of desire {Bhartrihari c. 625};
13. the only game that two can play and both win;
14. the last and most serious of the childhood diseases;
15. what makes marriage possible - habit makes it last;
16. is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise;
17. a disease like measles, we all have to go through it;
18. a temporary insanity curable by marriage or the removing of the patient from the
influences under which he or she incurred the disorder;
19. the only game that is never called on account of darkness;
20. the tie that blinds;
21. consists of happiness, given back and forth;
22. the only thing that has changed over the millions of years of playing this game is
that trumps have changed from clubs to diamonds;
23. that which makes the world revolve;
24. is really just being stupid together;
25. a situation which happens when you think almost as much of another as you do of
yourself;
26. is a fan club with only two members;
27. the only virtue that can be divided endlessly and still not be diminished;
28. the triumph of imagination over intelligence;
29. the child of illusion and the parent of disillusion;
30. a strange feeling that comes over a man - when he keeps wanting to call a girl by his
last name;
31. is like war - simple to begin but the devil to stop;
32. is like the action similar to an hourglass: the heart fills as the brain empties;
33. something which creates a religion that worships two fallible gods;
34. a word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle
aged, and the mutual dependence of the old;
35. a situation - when it is true, does not mean gazing into each other's eyes, but
looking outward together in the same direction as life beckons;
36. something which combines the two greatest powers on earth - war and peace;
37. the balm that heals the wounds that words make. |
