"Perhaps it
will seem to you that the sunshine is brighter and that everything has a new
charm. At least, I believe this is always the result of a deep love, and it is
a beautiful thing. And I believe people who think love prevents one from
thinking clearly are wrong; for then one thinks very clearly and is more active
than before. And love is something eternal - the aspect may change, but not the
essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in
love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was
there and it was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its
real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and in that way,
one is more fit for one's work." ~ Vincent Van Gogh
