Love reaches its peak when it is proved that the loved one understands, more clearly than others have ever been able to, maybe even ourselves - those parts of us that are chaotic, embarrasing and shameful.

"The Course of Love " - is a stenic book, which proposes a detached and not at all conventional contemplation of love.
One question that is most often asked is " how did they get to know each other ? " - a question that dissatisfies with the exaggerated importance given to the beginning.
The start receives such disproportionate attention, because it isn't deemed to be just one phase among many, for an romantic - it contains in a concentrated form everything significant about love as a whole. Which is why, in so many love stories, there is simply nothing else for the narrator to do with a couple after they have triumphed over a range of initial obstacles, other than to consign them to an ill-defined contented future, or kill them off.

The key would be how they resisted together, what happened to them, and how they faced difficult situations.
The book can also be seen as a text-book of love, and here are certain passages that incite some intrigues :
" Is love a habit rather than an enthusiasm ? "

We each enter into a relationship, believing in our possibility of quick and total understanding and empathy between two beings, and in the chance to put an end to loneliness once and for all, with the feeling of having discovered a part of one's own self. But even though we face romantic challenges, the road is long, and all the events that take place along it - will be the true love story.
Botton favors not the intrigue itself, but the emotions and behaviors of the characters created by ordinary circumstances.
"We don't need to be constantly reasonable, in order to have good relationships; all we need to have mastered is the occasional capacity to acknowledge, with good grace, that we may, in one or two areas - be somewhat insane."
