These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. — William Shakespeare, The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet (1597), Act 2, Scene 6
