"It’s impossible to grasp just how powerful love is, it can sustain us through trying times, or motivate us to make extraordinary sacrifices; it can force decent man to commit the darkest deeds, or compel ordinary woman to search for hidden truths. And long after we’re gone, love remains burned into our memories. We all search for love, but some of us, after we found it, wish we hadn’t. "
人们无法理解爱的力量究竟有多大,它能让我们渡过艰难困苦;或者鼓励我们做出特殊牺牲;它能使谦谦君子变成小人:也能迫使平凡女人发掘真相。即使我们早已不在人世,爱仍在我们的回忆里。我们都在寻找爱,但是有些人在找到之后却希望不曾找到它。
