Don’t miss this quote - superb!

"Love stories have so overworked the power
of love's gaze, that finally people agreed to
discount it. We hardly dare, nowadays, to admit
that two human beings loved one another
because they looked at one another. Yet—
love dawns thus, and only thus. The rest—
comes afterwards. Nothing is more true, more real,
that the primeval magnetic disturbances that two souls
may communicate to one another, through the
tiny sparks of a moment's glance."
Victor Hugo

It is not any particular type of beauty that sets my heart on fire. A hundred motives compel me to be always in love. Here is a girl that drops her gaze demurely. That is enough, my heart catches fire and her modesty is the lure that ensnares me. And here is one that is out for booty. To her I fall a willing victim because she is no novice and because she bids fair to be keen and enterprising on a downy couch.

I fall in love with your rare accomplishments. Unlearned? Your naïveté enthralls me. ...
