Because learning does not consist only of knowing what we must or we can do, but also of knowing what we could do and perhaps should not do."

"What is love? There is nothing in the world,neither man nor Devil nor
any thing, that I hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing.
Nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as
love does. Therefore,
unless you have those weapons that subdue it,
the soul plunges through love into an immense abyss."
~Umberto Eco, The Name Of The Rose

Perhaps it is everywhere -
on water and land."
