A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer. He is a man who has signed a contract with his conscious and his sense of duty.
Try to reason about love, and you will lose your reason.
Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
