Love that overthrows life

“I will have poetry in my life.  And adventure.  And love.  Love above all!  No, not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening.  But love that overthrows life -- unbiddable, ungovernable, like a riot in the heart, and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture.  Love like there has never been in a play.” ~Shakespeare in Love

Just in case you missed it in the longer post, this is my favorite love quote at the moment.  I adore it.  (I have never seen Shakespeare in Love, but I'm picturing Gwyneth saying this line in her perfect British accent, with as much passion as possible!) Probably best not to see the movie and ruin that.
