Captian Corelli's Mandolin

When you fall in love... it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots... have become so entwined together... that it is inconceivable... that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. <...> That is just being in love... which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over... when being in love has burned away.

— I tried to live without you. I tried to make myself believe I could live without you.
— The scar healed well.

Sometimes it is better... to lose than to have so much blood on your hands.
