Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the in-between which relates us to and separates us from others. As long as its spell lasts, the only in-between which can insert itself between two lovers is the child, love's own product. The child, this in-between to which the lovers now are related and which they hold in common, is representative of the world in that it also separates them; it is an indication that they will insert a new world into the existing world. Through the child, it is as though the lovers return to the world from which their love had expelled them. But this new worldliness, the possible result and the only possibly happy ending of a love affair, is, in a sense, the end of love, which must either overcome the partners anew or be transformed into another mode of belonging together.”

"Ah, spring! When a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love."
This is a quote from a famous poem. People don't take much time to consider what the word "lightly" implies here. As for quotes the best one I can think of is:
"Youth is wasted on the young."
