Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    “The married are those who have taken the terrible risk of intimacy and, having taken it, know life without intimacy to be impossible.”
