Summary

This quote suggests that the desire for fame limits our freedom. When we aspire to become famous, we become attached to a particular image or identity. In doing so, we may become constrained by societal expectations, pressure, and the need to constantly meet the standards set by others. This pursuit of fame can inhibit our ability to express ourselves genuinely and authentically, as we feel the need to conform to societal ideals. Therefore, this quote cautions against allowing the desire for fame to compromise our individuality and personal freedom.

Don't you know that love isn't just going to bed? Love isn't

Don't you know that love isn't just going to bed? Love isn't an act, it's a whole life. It's staying with her now because she needs you; it's knowing you and she will still care about each other when sex and daydreams, fights and futures -- when all that's on the shelf and done with. Love -- why, I'll tell you what love is: it's you at seventy-five and her at seventy-one, each of you listening for the other's step in the next room, each afraid that a sudden silence, a sudden cry, could mean a lifetime's talk is over.
