You can stand to eat a meal if you must. You can stand to make love if you’re able, but it’s impossible to stand and drink. It’s the act of a barbarian, an animal at the watering hole.
Love can’t be tested. Honesty, yes. Loyalty, for sure. But not love. Love goes on forever, even if we come to hate the one we love. You can love someone and do terrible things to them, all at the same time.
In matters of food, I am French. In matters of love, I am Italian. But in matters of business, I am Swiss. Strictly neutral, especially with other people’s business.
