Love isnt an act. It's a whole life.

It's staying with her now because she needs you; it's knowing you and she will still care bout each other when sex and daydreams, fights and futures - when all that's on the shelf and done with.

Love - why. I'll tell you what love is: it's you at seventy-five and her at seventy-one, each of you listening to each other's step in the next room, each afraid that a sudden silence, a sudden cry, could mean a lifetime's talk is over.
