“يقل حديث الأزواج مع بعضهم البعض لأن عشقهما يتحول إلى حب هادئ. العشق كالسفينة في بحر هائج وهذا يدفع ركابها للحديث مع بعض لينسوا خوفهم وطرقات قلبهم، يحكون قصصا ليقولوا للآخر أنهم قريبون منه، بينما الحب زورق في مياه هادئة، قد تكون عميقة ومليئة بالأخطار لكن ركاب الزورق يغطون في نوم عميق ولا يشعرون بحاجة للكلام.”
