“Sean: Do you think you're alone?
Will: What?
Sean: Do you have a soul-mate?
Will: Define that.
Sean: Someone who challenges you in every way. Who takes you places, opens things up for you. A soul-mate.
Will: Yeah. Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Chaucer, Pope, Kant…
Sean: They're all dead.
Will: Not to me, they're not.
Sean: But you can't give back to them, Will.
Will: Not without a heater and some serious smelling salts, no…
Sean: That's what I'm saying, Will. You'll never have that kind of relationship in a world where you're afraid to take the first step because all you're seeing are the negative things that might happen ten miles down the road.”
― Good Will Hunting

“Married love is fiery, passionate, and intense. It is not constant; it flares up and cools down again. That’s what makes it unique and what creates the attraction. The strength of this kind of love lies in the fact that it is not constant and consistent. Were the relationship of husband and wife to become steady and unchanging like that of a brother and sister, the relationship would become stagnant, and that would be unhealthy.”
