“When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you've got two new people.”

“It's always nice when two people who don't got no one else find each other as friends.”

“People who meet in airports are seventy-two percent more likely to fall for each other than people who meet anywhere else.”

“This is fusion, when two people become one. They are so close and so well suited to each other that they blend together. They merge and can't live without each other after that.”

“it's no one's business whether two people are meant for each other except for those two people.”

“Kumiko and I felt something for each other from the beginning. It was not one of those strong, impulsive feelings that can hit two people like an electric shock when they first meet, but something quieter and gentler, like two tiny lights traveling in tandem through a vast darkness and drawing imperceptibly closer to each other as they go. As our meetings grew more frequent, I felt not so much that I had met someone new as that I had chanced upon a dear old friend.”
