"Unattainability. The most intense joy lies not in the having, but in the desiring. The delight that never fades, the bliss that is eternal, is only yours when what you most desire is just out of your reach. Grasp it, and you've lost it. Pluck the rosebud, and it dies."
"Why love, if loving hurts so much? I have no answers anymore, only the life I've lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice, as a boy, and as a man. The boy chose safety. The man chooses suffering. The pain, now, is part of the happiness, then. That's the deal."
- From Leonore Fleischer's Shadowlands. The book, it is said, is about CS Lewis' love story.
