“The thing that binds us together is that we have both lowered our expectations of life”

“...and when the twilight of that ride is finally upon us, we will look at the trail we have taken and at the signs of our passage. And though our tears will be many, we will know that great lives have been lived, and that our memories will forever bind us together.”

“...love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together.”

“If I fail I’ll come back to you... Then both of us will die together. Both of us will vanish from the life of our tribe.”

“Genetically, 99.9% of the makeup of all human beings is identical, but we spend most of our time focusing on our differences. It may now be time for us to focus on what binds us together, such as our shared concerns.”

“What I want is for both of us to feel safe. What you and I have together shouldn't be draining us like this. It should be the one rock-solid thing we both count on.”
