“I've been married too many times. How terrible to change children's affiliations, their affections — to give them the insecurity of placing their trust in someone when maybe that someone won't be there next year.”

“maybe he's falling in love with the idea of falling in love with me. Maybe he wants to be in love with someone and I've ended up in the right place at the right time.”

“It's amazing how someone's IQ seems to double as soon as you give them responsibility and indicate that you trust them.”

“How many times could you give up on someone you loved?”

“Love is when you give someone else the power to destroy you, and you trust them not to do it.”

“I've known too many men who never quite felt married no matter how many wives they'd been through. Their own and otherwise.”

“She didn't know how to love, to give herself to someone, to out herself in someone else's keeping and take him into hers. She didn't trust anyone with her heart - or the darker places of her soul.”

“but fact is, it’s been years since I even really liked
someone. So how likely is it I’ll meet someone I love, much less someone I love enough to marry? I’m tired of not knowing who I’ll be with, or if I’ll be
with anyone.”

“I'm beginning to think that maybe it's not just how much you love someone. Maybe what matters is who you are when you're with them.”

“I've never had a message for someone in my entire life. Except maybe to give out my room number.”
