• People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other's personalities. Who wouldn't? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that's not the clever trick.

Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it's always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.
