2003-05-29 / 2:38 a.m. LOVE 1. "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." --Aristotle 2. "In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities." --Janos Arnay 3. "My night has become a sunny dawn because of you." --Ibn Abbad 4. "In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person." --Margaret Anderson 5. Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
