Is that what this is all about? That’s true, I don’t mind. Why is that? It’s because I feel superior.

[...]

I love love. I love having a lover and being one. The insularity of passion. I love it. I love the way it blurs the distinction between everyone who isn’t one’s lover. Only two kinds of presence in the world. There’s you and there’s them.

I love you so.

Stoppard, Tom. The Real Thing. Faber and Faber, 1982, pp. 42-43.
