“With a woman you could say so much that sometimes the temptation is not to speak at all. In a small white room with a woman you might look at each other and think, “Yes,” and that would be the only word required and even then it would seem a shame to say it because there can be so much tension in the not saying, there can be that quiet want and comprehension when no one says anything and it’s just touched palms that light the blaze.”
