Absences are a good influence in love and keep it bright and delicate.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every one knows, that the mind will not be kept from contemplating what it loves in the midst of crowds and business. Hence come those frequent absences, so observable in conversation; for whilst the body is confined to present company, the mind is flown to that which it delights in.
Mary Astell
With her high pale brow under her faded brown hair, she was like a rock washed clean by years of her husband's absences at conventions, dinners, committee meetings or simply at the office.
Louis Auchincloss
Wives in their husbands' absences grow subtler, And daughters sometimes run off with the butler.
George Byron
