"Now, I'm not going to deny that I was aware of 

your beauty. But the point is, this has nothing to 

do with your beauty. As I got to know you, I began 

to realise that beauty was the least of your qualities. 

I became fascinated by your goodness. I was drawn 

in by it. I didn't understand what was happening to 

me. And it was only when I began to feel actual, 

physical pain every time you left the room that it 

finally dawned on me: I was in love, for the first time 

in my life. I knew it was hopeless, but that didn't matter 

to me. And it's not that I want to have you. All I want is 

to deserve you. Tell me what to do. Show me how to 

behave. I'll do anything you say."

—Choderlos de Laclos, Dangerous Liaisons
