Marrying to increase love is like gaming to become rich; ala

Summary

This quote suggests that marrying someone with the intention of increasing the existing love between a couple is comparable to playing a game in an attempt to become wealthy. However, the quote implies that such endeavors will not bring substantial gains, but rather result in losses. In this context, marrying someone solely to enhance love is seen as futile, akin to attempting to improve one's financial status through gambling. It emphasizes the idea that genuine love and affection cannot be manufactured or forced through external factors such as marriage.

He lay beside her, an insomniac with visions of vastness. He thought of desert stretches so huge no Chosen People could cross them. He counted grains of sand like sheep and knew his job would last forever. He thought of aeroplane views of wheatlands so high he couldn't see which way the wind was bending the stalks. Arctic territories and sled-track distances.Miles he would never cover because he could never abandon this bed.
