You ask whether I have ever been in love: fool as I am, I am not such a
fool as that. But if one is only to talk from first-hand experience,
conversation would be a very poor business. But though I have no personal
experience of the things they call love, I have what is better - the
experience of Sappho, of Euripides, of Catullus, of Shakespeare, of
Spencer, of Austin, of Bronte, of anyone else I have read.
-- C. S. Lewis
