Quote by Honore de Balzac

Like hunger, physical love is a necessity. But man's appetite for amour is never so regular or so sustained as his appetite for the delights of the table.

Like hunger, physical love is a necessity. But man's appetit

Summary

This quote suggests that while physical love is essential for humans, it is not as consistent or long-lasting as our need for food. Just as we feel hungry at regular intervals, our desire for physical intimacy is not constant and can fluctuate in intensity. It highlights the fact that our instinctual drive for food is more predictable and essential for survival compared to our need for sexual gratification.

You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore...But let there be spaces in your togetherness...Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not of the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
