Love, Caroline, isn’t…that. Love is everything else that can be between a man and a woman, without that.
To Marry Medusa (1958)
Love’s a different sort of thing, hot enough to make you flow into something, interflow, cool and anneal and be a weld stronger than what you started with.
More Than Human (1953)
I remember wondering smokily whether anyone ever loves a person. People seem to love dreams instead, and for the lucky ones, the person is close to the dream. But it’s a dream all the same, a sticky dream. You unload the person, and the dream stays with you.
The Martian and the Moron (1949)
