“Sometimes, when we’re lying together, I look at her and I feel dizzy  with the realization that here is another distinct person from me, who  has memories, origins, thoughts, feelings that are different from my  own. That tension between familiarity and mystery meshes something  strong between us. Even if one builds a life together based on trust,  attentiveness and mutual support, I think that it’s important that a  partner continues to surprise.”
