"When you love a woman she becomes more beautiful. When a woman loves you you become more graceful, suddenly all your awkwardness is gone. You become more clean - you take a bath every day, you brush your teeth more carefully, now you are worried if you perspire too much.
You change overnight if a woman falls in love with you. What happens?
She pays attention to you, you become important. Now those two eyes are waiting for you - you have to satisfy those two eyes, their happiness depends on you. You are not just irrelevant in this world, you are needed. You are a must here - without you the world won't be the same. Suddenly, a significance, a glory, arises around you; you are surrounded by an aura. You can see in a man whether he is in love or not. Just by watching him you can see whether he's in love or not.
When a man is not in love he becomes lethargic. His feet lose dance, he becomes dull, there is no joy, he is not bubbling. He no more has any wings, his wings are clipped.
But when a man is in love, suddenly he has wings. Again dreams, again poetry, arise. There is not a single man or woman on the earth who has not become poetic when she or he was in love. In fact the people who are called poets are people who are in love continuously.
Their object of love may be anything - maybe nature, maybe God, maybe a woman, maybe just humanity - but the people who are known as poets are the people who are continuously in love. Hence, they remain poetic. Otherwise everybody is poetic - you just lose track of love, and the poetry is lost.
Attention is food, very subtle food."
