-- Curtis Sittenfeld

“She moved nearer, leaned her shoulder against me â€” and we were one, and something flowed from her into me, and I knew: this is how it must be. I knew it with every nerve, and every hair, every heartbeat, so sweet it verged on pain. And what joy to submit to this 'must'.

Or a man, after the final agony, taking a last deep breath â€” and dying.”
