Cuando tienes un gran amor, debes cuidarlo como si fuera una planta. Debes abonarlo y protegerlo de la nieve. Es muy importante tratarlo con esmero. Si el amor es pequeño, deja que se marchite hasta que muera.

Sucked in and turned around by the blades, the night at first flows smoothly, but then it starts to take on a denser consistency. Already the night was nearly halfway through its course, so a good portion of it had hardened. Because of this, as I walked through it, it gave me none of the easy, buoyant feeling you get in the early-evening hours. Something about it seemed creaky. But that was, in its own way, typical of the night too.

The most empowering relationships are those in which each partner lifts the other to a higher possession of their own being.

The only animal more affectionate and loyal than a dog is a guilty partner.

If you notice yourself viewing a potential partner as a "work in progress", that's a sign to find someone else.

Your love partner should not sculpt who you are , because who you are already is a masterpiece.
