'Preferable in almost every way, the philosophy of mature love is marked by an active awareness of the good and bad within each person, it is full of temperance, it resists idealization (of the other half), it is free of jealousy, masochism, or obsession, it is a form of friendship with a sexual dimension, it is pleasant, peaceful, and reciprocated.' - Essays in Love

‘我从来没有感觉这么平静过。’

那时，你说了这句话。

我听了，觉得，

很感动。

'it takes a lot of courage to be happy every day.'

Indeed you must be courageous,

because if happiness were a currency,

you would be the wealthiest man in the world.
