"Rather close but correct reading." -- Evgeny Morozov
"Mean, but true." -- Annalee Newitz

"Pretty breathless, but I guess it had to be said." -- Bruce Sterling

"Nevertheless, among the Eldar, even in Aman, the
desire for marriage was not always fulfilled. Love was
not always returned, and more than one might desire
one other for spouse. Concerning this, the only
cause by which sorrow entered the bliss of Aman,
the Valar were in doubt. Some held that it came
from the marring of Arda, and from the Shadow
under which the Eldar awoke; for thence only (they
said) comes grief or disorder. Some held that
it came of love itself, and of the freedom of each
fëa, and was a mystery of the nature of the
Children of Eru."
-- J. R. R. Tolkien, "Laws and Customs Among
the Eldar" in _Morgoth's Ring_, Volume X of
"The History of Middle-earth"
