Klingon love

"We are not accorded the luxury of choosing the women we fall in love with. Do you think Sirella is anything like the woman I thought I'd marry? She is a prideful, arrogant, mercurial woman who shares my bed far too infrequently for my taste. And yet... I love her deeply. We Klingons often tout our prowess in battle, our desire for glory and honour above all else... but how hollow is the sound of victory without someone to share it with? Honour gives little comfort to a man alone in his home... and in his heart."
