Quote from P.D. James

I've just discovered James, and though her mysteries are hardly YA material, this bit blew me away.

"What, he wondered, had those carefully spaced encounters, both participants groomed for pleasure like a couple of sleek cats, to do with love, with untidy bedrooms, unwashed dishes, babies' nappies, the warm, close, claustrophobic life of marriage and commitment." The Black Tower, P.D. James
