"Falling in love for the first time is always dangerous, but when you’re foolish enough to fall in love with a fictional character you can pretty much be assured it’s going to be unrequited. Also, you’re not going to be the first, or the last, for that matter, to have been involved with this fictional character. He’s got a string of women, some of whom have been involved with him for years, rereading him again and again. And in the long run he belongs to his author, heart and soul."
