LOVE IS A HARD-CORE BUSINESS PRINCIPLE. DEAL WITH IT.

Love anything, and your heart will be certainly wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.

—C. S. LEWIS
