"Rimbaud: Love…
Verlaine: Yes?
Rimbaud: …No such thing.
Verlaine: What do you mean?
Rimbaud: Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that’s not love. That’s stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn’t exist.
Verlaine: You’re wrong.
Rimbaud: Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists, but not love. Love has to be reinvented."
