Maybe you're right. Some literary critics say this is one of the best definitions:

To drink poison as if it were a soothing liquor,
To disregard gain and delight in being injured.
To believe that heaven can lie contained in hell;
To devote your life and soul to being disillusioned;
This is love; whoever has tasted it, knows.


(Lope de Vega: Rhymes, 1602)
