“Sorrow is implicit in love as gravitation is implicit in mass.”
― Lawrence Durrell, Monsieur or The Prince of Darkness

“Very few people realise that sex is a psychic and not a physical act. The clumsy coupling of human beings is simply a biological paraphrase of this truth - a primitive method of introducing minds to each other, engaging them. But most people are stuck in the physical aspect, unaware of the poetic rapport which it so clumsily tries to teach.”
― Lawrence Durrell, Balthazar

“Love is like trench warfare - you cannot see the enemy, but you know he is there and that it is wiser to keep your head down.”
― Lawrence Durrell, Balthazar

“People only see in us the contemptible skirt-fever which rules our actions but completely miss the beauty-hunger underlying it.”
― Lawrence Durrell, Justine
