“Every man loves two women; the one is the creation of his imagination, and the other is not yet born.”

Or, the music version by Led Zeppelin (Fourth album):

“Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn,
Tryin’ to find a woman who’s never, never, never been born..”

Nice writing. Here is food for thought.

“Fame is the shadow of passion that is standing in the light” – Khalil Gibran, THE PROPHET.
