"I wasn't in love with her. And she didn't love me. For me the question of love was irrelevant.

Yet many of us, female and male, carry these fantasies into adulthood and are unable to cope with the reality of what it means to either have an intense life-altering connection that will not lead to an ongoing relationship or to be in a relationship. True love does not always lead to happily ever after, and even when it does sustaining love still takes work."

"When the family is destroyed, society eventually disintegrates."
