‎"Love... interrupts at every hour the most serious occupations, and sometimes perplexes for a while even the greatest minds. It does not hesitate... to interfere with the negotiations of statesmen and the investigations of the learned. It knows how to slip its love-notes and ringlets even into ministerial portfolios and philosophical manuscripts. It sometimes demands the sacrifice of... health, sometimes of wealth, position and happiness. 

- Schopenhauer
(from Traci)
