is that the sentimental person thinks things will last--the romantic
person has a desperate confidence that they won't.”

“I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“This may be the curse of human race . Not that we are different from one anther , but we are so alike .”
