Lovers often invest their first meetings with retrospective significance, as if to try to conjure the elements of the numinous out of the stubborn witness of the everyday.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's something about marriage that is not as intensely romantic or interesting as a couple's first meeting.
The reason that lovers never weary each other is because they are always talking about themselves.
Obviously, you make preparations before you engage in any meeting.
We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.
People want chat histories. They're a permanent testimony of a relationship.
Scientific studies about relationships fascinate me, and I devour them hungrily, especially when they give big, fancy-sounding names to everyday experiences.
The usefulness of a meeting rises with the square of the number of people present.
A single moment spent in a business meeting or at a pub is more than enough to reveal the basic human truth that we are all faking it most of the time. We congratulate a rival on a triumph when actually we are choking on spite. We are cordial and attentive to crashing bores.
Lovers quarrels are the renewal of love.
To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.
