“No one recognizes their faults or their virtues when these are stated by another, any more than they recognize their own voices on a tape recorder. The world transmits back to us only the asymmetric form of our vices, as a mirror reflects back the asymmetric form of our faces. There is a pact of pride in a couple's love, a pact of glory, which is at least as fundamental as sexual feelings. These latter peter out silently in the two bodies, but the pact can only be broken by the spoken word. If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of breakup and infidelity.” LoveLanguageDistortionsCouple Pact Book:Cool memories Source: Cool memories
