It is very unnerving to be proven wrong, particularly when you are really right and the person who is really wrong is proving you wrong and proving himself, wrongly, right.

But just suddenly I really, really needed to see you again right that minute, that night.

Neither were you [born yesterday], unless of course I am wrong, in which case welcome to the world, little baby, and congratulations on learning to read so early in life.

One's home is like a delicious piece of pie you order in a restaurant on a country road one cozy evening - the best piece of pie you have ever eaten in your life - and can never find again. After you leave home, you may find yourself feeling homesick, even if you have a new home that has nicer wallpaper and a more efficient dishwasher than the home in which you grew up.

...in life it is often the tiny details that end up being the most important.

It is a lonely feeling when someone you care about becomes a stranger.

It is often difficult to admit that someone you love is not perfect, or to consider aspects of a person that are less than admirable.
