"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, "The Little Prince"

Love can tame the wildest.

Aesop, "The Lion in love"

We often despise what is most useful to us.

Aesop, "The Hart and the Hunter"
