If love were easy, one probably wouldn't appreciate it.
If loving someone were easy, people probably wouldn't appreciate each other.
It would be infinitely simpler to simply not fall in love.
But we would then be missing out on a great deal in life.
For believe me! — the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors as long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you seekers of knowledge! — Nietzsche, The Gay Science
