“Love her, love her, love her!
If she favours you, love her.
If she wounds you, love her.
If she tears your heart to pieces-
and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper-
love her, love her, love her!”
“I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.”
― Charles Dickens, “Great Expectations“
