"Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to
be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous
of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that.
We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the
others...But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were
together. I know that the night is not the same as the day: that
all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be
explained in the day, because they do not exist, and the night can
be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started.
But with Catherine there was almost no difference in the
night except that it was an even better time."
Ernest Hemingway - A Farewell To Arms
