The lover must often say, "I love because I must, because I will it. I love for myself, not for others. I love for the joy it gives me - and incedentally, only - for that joy it gives to others. If they reinforce me it will be good. If they do not, it also will be good, for I will to love."

Because she was exactly the right kind of smart and funny. Because he could imagine taking a long trip with her without ever getting bored.
