Character: passenger

- And, most importantly, that you do not understand these people that marriage without love is not marriage. And that only love consecrates marriage. And that marriage is true, this is the one that sanctifies love.
- What kind of love? You'll excuse me, excuse me, what's love sanctifies marriage?
True! True! If there is this love between a man and a woman, possible marriage.
- What do you mean by true love? <...>
- Very simple. Love... Love is an exclusive preference for one or one before the other.
- Yes, absolutely right! But the preference for how long? For a month? For a year? On two days? Huh? For half an hour? <...>
- For how long? For a long time, for life sometimes.
- Fair. But this is only in the novels, but the romances in life ever. In life this preference for one over all the years that very rarely, more often for months, and then weeks, days, hours. <...>
- Oh, it's awful that you're talking about! But I think there is between people the feeling that is called love and which is given not for months or years, but for life?
- No, no. Assuming even that the man and would prefer a famous woman for life, the woman, in all probability, will prefer the other, so it was there in the world and will be! <...>
- But you're talking about carnal love. And you don't allow love based on the unity of ideals, on a spiritual affinity?
Spiritual affinity! The unity of ideals! But in this case there is no need, excuse me for being rude, to sleep together.
