Feelings reside in us like a river and pass through our consciousness in an ever-moving flow. . . . Revealing these emotional tides to the person you love is a way for you to continue to endear yourself to and amaze your partner. . . . Therefore, let the person you love enter the underground stream of your feelings so he can cherish you, so she can love you even more, by starting to say, exactly and always, whatever is in your heart and mind.
— Daphne Rose Kingma, The Book of Love
