Love Magnetism

I was always attracted not by some quantifiable, external beauty, but by something deep down, something absolute. Just as some people have a secret love for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts, I liked that certain undefinable something directed my way by members of the opposite sex. For want of a better word, call it magnetism. Like it or not, it�s a kind of power that snares people and reels them in.

Haruki Murakami, in 'South of the Border, West of the Sun'
