“Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or -- such is the pleasure they experience -- they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.”
— Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

“Although 'making love' may serve as a polite name for an act that has many rude ones, it's misleading.

If they are devoted to one another, love will transform them, dissolving the shells of their old separate selves and making them anew.”
— Scott Russell Sanders, A Private History of Awe
