From page 11 of the same book:

"It seems clear that as a source of happiness, romance leaves a lot to be desired. And perhaps the Dalai Lama was not far off the mark in rejecting the notion of romance as a basis for a relationship and in describing romance as merely "a fantasy, something unattainable," something not worthy of our efforts."

A typo-free quote.

I have the highest regard for buddhism, by the way. I read the book quoted because one of my sons has become seriously interested in Buddhism, and I wanted to share some of his search with him.
