My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the
shallow people. What they call their loyalty and their fidelity, I call
their lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is
to the emotional life what constancy is to the intellect - simply a
confession of failure. Faithfulness! I must analyze it some day. The
passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would
throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
-- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
