He wanted to discuss with him the question, which they had omitted to touch on

A gift, which it's receiver demands from it's giver, is not a gift, but a bribe.

Happiness is to make luch to your dearest when he is working from home.

Onni on laittaa lounasta etätöitä kotona tekevälle rakkaalle.

And I hope you'll be very, very happy

A person I hold in high regard said: "A relationship is being present."

I think she was spot on. A person can share an apartment and past with their partner, but still be total strangers to one another.

Are you present in your partners life, truly?

Eräs arvostamani ihminen sanoi. "Parisuhde on sitä, että on läsnä."

Mielestäni hän osui asian ytimeen. Ihminen voi jakaa kumppaninsa kanssa asunnon ja yhteisen historian, mutta silti olla toisilleen kuin ventovieraita.

Oletko sinä läsnä kumppanisi elämässä, aidosti?

Where most fellows go wrong is that they don't take enough of it

If you want to differ from the mainstream and stand out of the "trendy" middle-aged, then don't get tattooed, pierced or brasilian waxed.

Jos haluat poiketa valtavirrasta ja erottua "trendikkäistä" keski-ikäisistä, älä hanki tatuointeja, lävistyksiä tai brasilialaista vahausta.

I hadn't time to replay

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. 

It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19–28

Yes, there is resemblance

In life, the first time is often the most difficult.

When gourmandise is shared with another, it has the greatest influence on conjugal happiness.

Jaettu herkkusuisuus on avioliiton merkittävin onnellisuutta lisäävä tekijä.

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in Physiologie du goût (The Physiology of Taste)

In between the sips

There, underneath the blankets he grabs me up. He begins his expedition on my body - touching, rubing, stroking, caressing. He murmurs contently and I smile, because I know that he is asleep and won't remember what happened just now, when he wakes up in the morning.

Even asleep he loves my figure and me.

-- 

Sieltä peittojen alta hän kaivaa minut käsiinsä. Hän aloittaa tutkimusmatkan vartalollani - kosketellen, puristellen, sivellen, hivellen. Hän ääntelee tyytyväisenä ja minä hymyilen, sillä tiedän, että hän nukkuu, eikä aamulla tule muistamaan tapahtunutta.

Nukkuessaankin hän rakastaa vartaloani ja minua.
