When you have children it completely shifts your focus; they become the most passionate love of your life. Louis de Bernieres

Love is a kind of dementia with very precise and oft-repeated clinical symptoms. You blush in each other's presence, you both hover in places where you expect the other to pass, you are both a little tongue-tied, you both laugh inexplicably and too long, you become quite nauseatingly girlish, and he becomes quite ridiculously gallant.

Louis de Bernieres quote: "Love delayed is lust augmented."
Love delayed is lust augmented. Louis de Bernieres
