Warmer Quotes
Come here." I stop like a thief in a pantomime. And then dive into the warmth next to her. "Snuggling" - surely the most pleasant thing in the world. Scrunching further and further into the mattress as we struggle closer and closer warmer and warmer nearer and nearer, our bodies like a letter fitting into an envelope, my legs over her legs, our hips sliding against each other, her arm tighter and tighter around my shoulders, my face nestled more and more firmly into her collarbone.

Ah, drink again
This river that is the taker-away of pain,
And the giver-back of beauty!

Melted the frozen pride,
But the tranquil tide
Runs never the warmer for this,
Never the colder.

I remembered no one who had ever lived and breathed within my quietly moving form~ The Vampire Armand
Anne Rice
Presumably there is indeed no purpose in the ultimate fate of the cosmos, but do any of us really tie our life's hopes to the ultimate fate of the cosmos anyway? Of course we don't; not if we are sane. Our lives are ruled by all sorts of closer, warmer, human ambitions and perceptions.
