An extract from Captain Corellie mandolin;
'Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcano's, then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision You have to work out whether your roots are so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because that is what love is.
love is not breathlessness. It is not excitement. It is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
That is just being in love, which any fool can do, love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both Art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love, have roots that grow toward each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree, not two.'

Good quote, btw.
* things like starting off a round of rhyming, questions (someone asks someone else a question, who has to respond with a question, so-on and so-forth), never-have-i-ever, or handing out/taking drinks, etc...
