is from the movie Captain Corelli's
Mandolin:
When you fall in love, it is a
temporary madness. It erupts like
an earthquake, and then it
subsides. And when it subsides,
you have to make a decision. You
have to work out whether your
roots are 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 desire to
mate every second of the day. It
is not lying awake at night
imagining that he is kissing every
part of your body. No... don't
blush. I am telling you some
truths. For 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...
