“When it comes to love, there are a million theories to explain it. But when it comes to love stories, things are simpler. A love story can nver be about full possession. The happy marriage, the requited love, the desire that never dims – there are lucky eventualities but they aren’t love stories. Love stories depend on disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name.”
