Louis de Bernieres Sad Love Quotations

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.

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.
