“Relationships formed against the negative pressure of a society are under terrible strain; they tend to become defensive, over intense, unpeaceful. They have no room to grow.”

“(Our love) did not work very well or last very long, yet it was a great liberation for both of us, our liberation from the belief that the only communication or comonality possible between us was sexual, that an adult man and woman had nothing to join them but their genitals.”
