Q: How would you like your eggs in the morning? A: Unfertilized

It was one thing to make a mistake; it was another thing to keep making it. I knew what happened when you let yourself get close to someone, when you started to believe they loved you: you'd be disappointed. Depend on someone, and you might as well admit you're going to be crushed, because when you really needed them, they wouldn't be there. Either that, or you'd confide in them and you added to their problems. All you ever really had was yourself, and that sort of sucked if you were less than reliable.

Until this moment, I had not realized that someone could break your heart twice, along the very same fault lines.

It was a strange thing, to still be in love with your wife and to not know if you liked her. What would happen when this was all over? Could you forgive someone if she hurt you and the people you love, if she truly believed she was only trying to help? I had filed for divorce, but that wasn't what I really wanted. What I really wanted was for all of us to go back two years, and start over. Had I ever really told her that?

If God wanted us to act on instinct, we wouldn't have the power of reason.

Can you hate someone for what they have done, but still love them for whom they had been?

Being a teenager isn't all that different from being part of someone else's story. There's always someone who thinks they know better than you do
