It is not a lack of love, 

but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Familiar

The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary-defined discourse. Familiarity creates a new language, an in-house language of intimacy that carries reference to the story the two lovers are weaving together and that cannot be readily understood by others. (Alain de Botton)

Where death is

Lucretius’ doctrine: “Where death is, I am not; where I am, death is not." (Yalom)
