Josette says
People confuse love and romance. Romance is good, very nice. But love, love is necessary. See this? The moon, the stars, the lights over the water. The Pont Neuf. The Eiffel Tower. Candlelight there. Chocolates, small presents. All of this is romantic, no? But this is not love. I take a knife, I kill myself because you don’t love me. This is love. The most powerful love you feel will be after it has gone away.
It’s pain.
Yes, but love is also pleasure. The most pleasure there is in the world so when it leaves, you want to take a knife and kill yourself. No? You don’t know. It’s because you don’t know love.
