"Actually,
there is a word for that. It’s love. I’m in love with her, okay? If
you’re looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all
rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how
much it destroys you, it’s love. And when you love someone you just,
you…you don’t stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes, and call you
crazy. Even then. Especially then. You
just– you don’t give up. Because if I could just give up…if I could
just, you know, take the whole world’s advice and– and move on and find
someone else, that wouldn’t be love. That would be… that would be some
other disposable thing that is not worth fighting for. But I– that is
not what this is." - Ted Mosby, HIMYM s9 ep 17
