totally solid

grateful dead - unbroken chain

"when sartre and i met not only did our backgrounds fuse, but also our solidity, our individual conviction that we were what we were made to be. in that framework we could not become rivals. then, as the relationship between sartre and me grew, i became convinced that i was irreplaceable in his life, and he in mine. in other words, we were totally secure in the knowledge that our relationship was also totally solid, again preordained, though, of course, we would have laughed at that word then." /simone de beauvoir
