“I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, "Please — a little less love, and a little more common decency."”

“If people can just love each other a little bit, they can be so happy.”

“What happens to people that love each other?'
'I suppose they have whatever they have and they are more fortunate than others. Then one of them gets the emptiness for ever.”

“Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.”

“It is a lie that people who love each other must know everything about each other. Love must occasionally allow for a gap.”

“Between persons who are perpetually in each other's company dislike or love increases daily; every moment brings reasons to love or hate each other more and more.”

“But they love each other. Isn't that what love means? That you're supposed to be there for the other person to turn to, no matter what?”

“…we're twins, and so we love each other more than other people…”

“Everyone realizes that one can believe little of what people say about each other. But it is not so widely realized that even less can one trust what people say about themselves.”
