“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”

“Dare to be yourself. I must underline that in my head too. Don’t ever do anything through affectation or to make people like you or through imitation or for the pleasure of contradicting. No Compromise (either ethical or artistic). Perhaps it is very dangerous for me to see other people; I always have a great desire to please; Perhaps I need Solitude.”
— Andre Gide, from a journal entry dated 10th June, 1891 featured in Journals: 1889 - 1913

Hey, do you have a quote compilation about living with a lover, that sense of a shared life, shared horror and love?
'The Shipfitters Wife' by Dorianne Laux
'To You Again' by Mary Szybist
'Parable of the Swans' by Louise Glück
'The Ache of Marriage' by Denise Levertov
'Tea' by Carol Ann Duffy
"…I don’t mean what other people mean when they speak of a home, because I don’t regard a home as a…well, as a place, a building…a house…of wood, bricks, stone. I think of a home as being a thing that two people have between them in which each can…well, nest—rest—live in, emotionally speaking."
— Tennessee Williams, from 'The Night of the Iguana'
". . . Isn’t it funny and lonely being together [...] No place to go except close. Shall we just love and love?"
— F. Scott Fitzgerald, from 'Tender Is the Night'
"She goes to wash and dress. I know her routine, her sounds, her movements, so well. But today I’m listening like she’s new to me. I don’t want to get used to her. I don’t want to lose her to habit."
— Jeanette Winterson, from ‘As Strong As Death’ published in ‘Eight Ghosts: The English Heritage Book of New Ghost Stories’
"Oh! yet one smile, tho' dark may lower / Around thee clouds of woe and ill, / Let me yet feel that I have power, / Mid Fate's bleak storms, to soothe thee still. / Tho' sadness be upon thy brow, / Yet let it turn, dear love, to me, / I cannot bear that thou should'st know / Sorrow I do not share with thee."
— Letitia Elizabeth Landon, from 'Six Songs of Love, Constancy, Romance, Inconstancy, Truth, and Marriage'
"That first night, in the unsteady single bed, I lay awake while you slept. I was listening to the unfamiliar noises, and thinking about the miracle of the most unfamiliar of them all – you breathing next to me."
— Jeanette Winterson, from 'Lighthousekeeping'
"It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another."
— Mary Shelley, from 'Frankenstein'
"To go to bed and to wake up again day after day besides a woman, to lie in bed with our arms around each other and drift in and out of sleep, to be with each other—not as a quick stolen pleasure, nor as a wild treat—but like sunlight, day after day in the regular course of our lives. I was discovering all the ways that love creeps into life when two selves exist closely, when two women meet."
— Audre Lorde, from 'Zami: A New Spelling of My Name'
"What else could make me completely happy but just—our being here together like this. You and I. A few feet of space between us, that’s all! [...] When two people make their own world there is something rather magical about it, don’t you think?"
— Tennessee Williams, The Magic Tower and Other One-Act Plays; from 'The Magic Tower'
"I hand you my universe and you live me / It is you whom I love today. / = I love you with all my loves / I’ll give you the forest with a little house in it with all the good things there are in my construction, you’ll live joyfully - I want you to live joyfully."
— Frida Kahlo, from 'The Diary of Frida Kahlo', tr. Barbara Crow de Toledo & Ricardo Pohlenz
"These days I can see us clinging to each other / as we are swept along by the current / I am clinging to you to keep you from / being swept away and you are clinging to me / we see the shores blurring past as we hold / each other in the rushing current / the daylight rushes unheard far above us / how long will we be swept along in the daylight / how long will we cling together in the night / and where will it carry us together"
— W. S. Merwin, 'Here Together'
