It never makes a noise, you have to have the ear.

Our ability to fall in love is much more flexible and less under strict and definite needs and demands – than what we think. We are lonely, and therefore – the falling in love is such a deep longing, that we don’t need the best of the best for us, all we need that he or she will not put a stick in the wheels of the possibility to fall in love with him/her.
