Life is all memory
except for the one present moment that goes by so quickly you hardly catch it going.

On Lovers:
I have thought about this problem for many years. I see that many people are committed to the "ideal" of lifetime commitment, but as a man who has known a few women, I feel differently about marriage, I just couldn't bring myself to join those who want to live with one person for forty or fifty years without involving themselves with any other member of the opposite sex.
-
People are too interesting. Confining one's self to one person within a box barely justifies living the one life we are given to live.
-
This is not to say that marriage cannot be fulfilling. I would want to be married to a lifelong partner (as I am, although in a continuation of what I now call my second marriage) but, although I love her more deeply than ever, I would not want to have known only her.
Friendships and relationships deeper than friendship are necessary.
