“Who is the most difficult person to advise and influence?
There are two, people who are in love and fanatical supporters of presidential candidates.”
That’s about it, funny adages that sell well and are quoted as the political season approaches.

The essence of love, at least love manifested passionately and romantically, is revealed in his diction.
Falling in love aka falling in love.
Not “walking” towards love or traveling into love.
