There are many forms of love and affection, some people can spend their whole lives together without knowing each other's names. Naming is a difficult and time-consuming process; it concerns essences, and it means power. But on the wild nights who can call you home? Only the one who knows your name. Jeanette Winterson
About This Quote

The people who are truly committed to one another know each other's name. They spend their lives together, they share everything with one another, and they know each other's secrets. Those who can't trust or stand by their partners are one of two things: either they never meant to be together, or they never wanted to be called home.
