“It was as if they had leapt over the arduous cavalry of conjugal life and gone straight to the heart of love. They were together in silence like an old married couple wary of life, beyond the pitfalls of passion, beyond the brutal mockery of hope and the phantoms of disillusion: beyond love. For they had lived together long enough to know that love was always love, anytime and anyplace, but it was more solid the closer it came to death.”
― Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.”
― Oscar Wilde

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”

“What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?
