Commonplace

The fulfilment of love is knowing that love must become service, must become responsibility, and that love can't simply stay as love. Now if you think that is puritanical you may, but I think that love is not very well understood in American life, partly because our country is so very much moved by its young people and we are so very much concerned with young people who have romantic notions of love, incomplete notions of love. Love is, as you know, deeper and more complex, less satisfying, more satisfying, more intense, more impossible than most people even know or have contemplated.

--Bernard Malamud, "Hunting for Jewishness"
