What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim?

We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken.

We cannot love and be limited.
