“One day you and I will have to have a little talk about this business called love. I still don't understand what it's all about. My guess is that it's just a gigantic hoax, invented to keep people quiet and diverted.

And in speaking of love and offering it as a panacea for every tragedy, they would and betray and kill both body and soul.”
