Ian McEwan Quotes

We Often Told Ourselves Off For Wasting Time In Chairs, Fully Dressed, Talking, When We Could Be Doing The Same, Lying Down In Bed, Face To Face And Naked. That Precious Time Before Love-making Is Ill-served By The Pseudo-clinical Term, 'foreplay'. The World Would Narrow And Deepen, Our Voices Would Sink Into The Warmth Of Our Bodies, The Conversation Became Associative And Unpredictable. Everything Was Touch And Breath. Certain Simple Phrases Came To Me Which I Didn't Say Out Loud Because They Sounded So Banal - Here We Are, Or, This Again Or Yes, This. Like A Moment In A Recurring Dream, These Spacious, Innocent Minutes Were Forgotten Until We Were Back Inside Them. When We Were, Our Lives Returned To The Essentials And Began Again. When We Fell Silent, We Would Lie So Close We Were Mouth To Mouth, Delaying The Union Which Bound Us All The More Because Of This Prelude.
