“Morning conversations should be between very close friends or lovers, and otherwise avoided entirely.”
“The conversation was mesmerizing, not for its content but for the cadences of the talk, the rhythm we fell into when we were alone, now as before. Every conversation between friends or lovers creates its own easy or awkward rhythms, hidden talk that runs like a subterranean river under even the most banal exchange.”
“Should we still be friends when it could be more profitable if otherwise?”
“Librarians are your very best friend. And don't ever think otherwise.”
“Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys; it's more sanitary.”
“Silence make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying, but the never needing to say that counts.”
