To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But
then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer.
Not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is
to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer. But suffering makes one
unhappy. Therefore to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer,
or suffer from too much happiness.
-- Woody Allen, "Love and Death"
