“The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be...”
“Is not the pastness of the past the more profound, the more legendary, the more immediately it falls before the present ?”
“Past relationships are nothing more than a collection of songs you can no longer listen to.”
“Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems - but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems more and more incredible.”
“The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.”
“In a strong relationship, you should love your companion more than you need them.”
