« Not that people imagine that love is irrelevant. They're hungry for it, they're going to see countless movies about happy and unhappy love stories, they're listening to hundreds of the most mediocre love songs - and, yet, almost no one thinks they have much to learn about love. »

« The two people become accustomed to each other, their intimacy loses more and more its miraculous character, until their antagonism, their disappointments, their mutual boredom kill what may have survived the initial excitement. But here they are, at first, they know nothing: they take, indeed the intensity of the craze, this state of being one another, as proof of the intensity of their love, when it only reveals the degree of their previous solitude. »
