Why we love...

(...)"There's the sublime feeling of relief and reward when that interest is returned. There are the flowers you buy and the poetry you write and the impulsive trip you make to the other side of the world just so you can spend 48 hours in the presence of a lover who's far away"(...).

"They live for love, die for love, kill for love. It can be stronger than the drive to stay alive."

in Time ( by Jeffrey Kluger)
