"Human beings are like the Tardis of Dr. Who. The Tardis is this small frame the size of a telephone box that the Doctor travels through space and time in, but when you open up the doors, it's got infinite proportions, all these rooms and chambers, and it goes on forever. That's a beautiful analogy of human subjectivity. This fragile frame that you could walk around opens up to an infinite inner world, the subjective world. And so, when somebody shows up and appears, they're also still to come. They're there in present, but there's so much of them still to learn, so much of them still to know, every person is like a universe. And when someone shows up, our desire is not satisfied, our desire is deepened, and we want to explore that relationship and explore that life. Hence marriage is a lifelong commitment to explore the universe that is the other person."
