Sometimes I say to people, 'Do you think you're easy to live with?' People who are single. And the ones who say, 'Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty easy to live with; it's just a question of finding the right person,' massive alarm bell rings in my mind.
It is easy to infuse a most fervent devotion into others, even in a short time; but the great matter is - to persevere.
