"Falling in love is, obviously, an important aspect of love. But to elevate the beginning of a relationship is to do an injustice to its future - it provides a misleading model for thinking about love. Love is a process which develops and changes over time.(...) To judge the whole of a process by the experience of the beginning is the mark of immaturity." John Armstrong, in Conditions of love - the philosophy of intimacy, ed. Penguin.
