Words at Play : Writers Talk About Romance
You fall in love with perhaps half a dozen people in your life, and a like number of people fall in love with you. But the affections are rarely mutual and almost never contemporary. It is the most irresponsible thing that can be done to let such a coincidence pass and not act upon it.
Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut, P. J. O'Rourke
