Quote :: Stages of Relationships

"...they seemed to know each other more completely than they knew anyone else. It was like a happy marriage; the stage of discovery was over - they had passed the test of jealousy, and now they were tranquil in their middle age. Time and death remained the only enemies, and coffee was like the warning of old age. It was as though they had experienced a lifetime, which was measured as with butterflies in hours."
