To be with the people who one loves, that is enough; to dream, to speak with them, to not speak with them at all, to think with them, to think of things completely indifferent, but with them, everything is equal.
Être avec des gens qu'on aime, cela suffit : rêver, leur parler, ne leur parler point, penser à eux, penser à des choses plus indifférentes, mais auprès d'eux, tout est égal.
- La Bruyère, On the heart, aphorism 23
