I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.Pablo Neruda

Every time I imagine a garden in an architectural setting, it turns into a magical place.

Eating is so intimate. It's very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you're inviting a person into your life.Maya Angelou
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.Gabriel García Márquez
A book is the only place in the world where two strangers can meet on terms of absolute intimacy.Paul Auster
