Andrew Solomon Quotes About Intimacy

Quotes about: Intimacy

• The absence of words is the absence of intimacy. There are experiences that are starved for language.

  Andrew Solomon

  Language, Intimacy, Absence

• Depression is the flaw in love. There's no such thing as love without the anticipation of loss. And that specter of despair can be the engine of intimacy.

  Andrew Solomon

  Loss, Despair, Anticipation

• Absence does not so much make the heart grow fonder as give the heart time to integrate what it has not previously absorbed, time to make sense of what happened too quickly to have any meaning in the instant. This is always true. If it is in absence that people forget each other, it is also in the quiet pause of absence that, minds running in symmetry, people come to know each other; there is sometimes as much intimacy in the span of continents as in the shared hours before dawn.
