The first, the greatest, the most powerful, the most irrepressible of all my needs was entirely in my heart… — Jean Jacques Rousseau

The first, the greatest, the most powerful, the most irrepressible of all my needs was entirely in my heart; it was the need of a companionship as intimate as was possible; it was for that purpose especially that I needed a woman rather than a man, a female rather than a male friend.
