We are not attracted to people because they are virtuous. In fact, there's something a little creepy about people who are too good. There is a big draw to people who are successful at breaking the rules. That means we end up admiring a lot of people that we think we shouldn't.

Maybe the greatest favour a spouse can tender is to overlook what you can't.

My own apathy is bone chilling.

Giving anyone anything takes courage, since so many presents backfire. A gift conspicuously at odds with your tastes serves only to betray that the benefactor has no earthly clue who you are.

However gnawing a deficiency, satiety is worse... We are meant to be hungry.
