"... Of course, all this is possible only in the confines of a single season. If someone were listening to me, he would immediately stop trying to hold onto time. It is impossible, unthinkable to try to hold onto love. Its organs do not exist within us. Even if love is some kind of spiritual plasma, once in our bodies it is weighed down by genes designed for something altogether different. Love is possible only in memories, in the strict confines of the impossible return. I think this last of my more worthwhile relationships has, in a certain sense, reached the threshold of exhaustion..."

George Tenev -- Christo and All Those Bad Things -- 2005
