The very ingredients that nurture love - mutuality, reciprocity, protection, worry, responsibility for the other - are sometimes the very ingredients that stifle desire.

Love is at once an affirmation and a transcendence of who we are.

People cheat on each other in a hundred different ways: indifference, emotional neglect, contempt, lack of respect, years of refusal of intimacy. Cheating doesn't begin to describe the ways that people let each other down.

Love enjoys knowing everything about you; desire needs mystery.

There's something very full in knowing that your partner accepts you as is.
