"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more."

- Erica Jong

This rings as a strong truth in my experience, in life and love, alike.

I don't know any more than that it is by Jong. It was Wednesday's quote from my "Fabulous Broads" 2006 calendar.

I agree...that is why it is so painful when what looks like love turns out to be something else, even after all you invested in it.
