Two quotes from a book I'm reading. The books is an odd reflection on relationships through the eyes of a seducer.
"There's a couple over there who are meant for each other. How measured their steps, what poise their whole appearance presents, built on mutual confidence, what pre-established harmony in all their movements, what assured solidity. Their carriage is not light and graceful, they do not dance with each other, no, there is a durability in them, a forthrightness, which arouses infallible hope and inspires mutual respect. I will wager that their view of life is 'Life is a road'. And they also seem bent on walking with each other arm in arm through life's joys and sorrows."
I want that. Lots. In the same chapter the image above is set against that of a couple blowing about in the wind - quite literally. One relationship is tested and found to be solid, the other is far less certain. Now for the next quote.
"Her soul has passion, intensity, and though not overblown in absurd and vain reflections, it has a hankering for the unusual."
I want that too. A fancy a good hankering for the unusual flavored with passion.
