Sonja (Diane Keaton) to young Natasha (Jessica Harper) in Love and Death (1975): 'Natasha, to love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love . But then one suffers from not loving . Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love . To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love , or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down .'
