“We did not spend our days gazing into each other’s eyes. We did that gazing when we made love or when one of us was in trouble, but most of the time our gazes met and entwined as they looked at a third thing.

Each member of a couple is separate; the two come together in double attention.”
― John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet
