“It is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope.

“We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easily; we do not need to learn it.”
