Tom Robbins quote #290 from Still Life with Woodpecker
When two people meet and fall in love theres a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back but by then its usually too late weve used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. Its hard work but if we can remember to do it we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.
