He didn't want just one morning with her, just one dawn breaking across the horizon. He wanted every dawn forever, every night, and the hours in between.

About This Quote

As the sun rises and sets, so must love be. The idea that love should be eternal is an old idea, one that has been around for centuries. Love was first described as “the immaterial substance which binds together all material things” by the ancient Greek philosopher Anaxagoras. In many cultures, this idea has been demonstrated through a concept or ritual known as a “crush.” In these rituals, a few people get together to commit themselves to each other and to a relationship that will never end. A similar idea was portrayed in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet when Juliet says, “How many mornings shall we two keep our tryst? / Or run into some violent death / In mid-noon of this sweet afternoon?” While the sentiment may seem trite today, it had a profound effect on people at the time.
