Love in the Time of Cholera II
It is against all scientific reason for two people who hardly know each other, with no ties at all between them, with different characters, different upbringings, and even different genders, to suddenly find themselves commited to living together, to sleeping in the same bed, to sharing two destinies that perhaps were fated to go in opposite directions. He would say: “The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.”
-Love in the Time of Cholera (Gabriel Garcia Marquez)
