The difference between intimacy & passion..

“If both intimacy and passion are to thrive beyond the limerent period, there must be a recognition that the two spring from separate and distinct motives. Intimacy is engendered by the desire to know every detail of the other’s dreams and fears. Passion, however, is felt when one gazes at the beloved from a distance and appreciates him or her as an individual who can never be fully known.” - By Dr. Jack Morin from The Erotic Mind
