Couples Maintain

Famous quotes containing the words couples and/or maintain:

“How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning. Thus, then, in our hearts’ honeymoon, lay I and Queequeg—a cosy, loving pair.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
