A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him
You mustn't fall in love with your own hero.
A man in love prefers his passion to every other consideration, and is fonder of his mistress than he is of virtue. Should she prove vicious, she makes vice lovely in his eyes.
However big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him.
People have notions of what a wife's role should be in this process, and it's been a traditional one of blind adoration. My model is a little different - I think most real marriages are.
We have this real problem as human beings to put people on pedestals - with celebrities, with historical figures - and we forget they're humans just like us.
Blind adoration, in the age of action, is perfectly valueless, is often embarrassing and, equally, often painful.
It irritates me to see people aping superstars.
