Saturday

You said, 'I love you."

Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to one other is still the thing we long to hear?
'I love you' is always a quotation. You did not say it first and neither did I, yet when you say it and when I say it, we speak like savages who have found three words and worship them.

Jeanette Winterson. Written on The Body.
