Love
Desire, marriage, and the civil war of the heart.
That which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.
Marry, and you will regret it; don't marry, you will also regret it; marry or don't marry, you will regret it either way.
True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.
