Jean-Paul Sartre. The age of maturity (№ 436045)

“She is wonderful,” thought Boris, “she is ashamed to love me, because she is older. But in my opinion, this is natural, all the same, it is necessary for one to be older than the other. In addition, it is more moral: Boris could not love a peer. If both are young, they don't know how to behave and act frantically, it seems that they are playing children's dinner. It's different with older people. They are solid, they control a partner, and their love is weighty. The connection with Lola seemed to Boris natural and justified.
