We are thickly layered, page lying upon page, behind simple covers. And love - it is not the book itself, but the binding.

I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this.

I don’t know why we do it. But sometimes we just swim straight for the net.

The favorite game of temperamental people is Try to Guess Why I’m Ticked Off. (Contestant number one, Why do YOU think he’s pissed off?

That's what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you're not so lovable.
