Love this quote when the Argeneau boys all go to find their mum without their life mates, and Margurite questions them about how unhappy they will be about it. Vincent says, "She'll have a fit, throw a tantrum, i'll grovel a bit, and we'll have make-up sex". Now ain't that just typical blokes, although it often works in our favour eh girls when they wanna get back in good books LOL! ↗

And so does velocity.In contrast to viscosity's cellular coma, velocity endows every platelet and muscle fiber with a mind of its own, a means of knowing and commenting on its own behavior.

What I mean is the unceasing awareness of the processes of digestion could exhaust you to death. And digestion is just an involuntary sideline to thinking, which is where the real trouble begins ↗
