Marriage is supposed to do everything, like Duz, which is more than half its problem. It is said to save us, define us, give us purpose, keep us from loneliness, and incidentally balance our diet and wash our socks, and when it doesn't, we get divorced.

One can never change the past, only the hold it has on you, and while nothing in your life is reversible, you can reverse it nevertheless.

The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.

Anger is a passion, so it makes people feel alive and makes them feel they matter and are in charge of their lives. So people often need to renew their anger a long time after the cause of it has died, because it is a protection against helplessness and emptiness just like howling in the night. And it makes them feel less vulnerable for a little while.

There are problems connected with infidelity and problems connected with being faithful at any cost, and I am for letting those concerned choose the problems they'd prefer. There need not be one rule for all. Infidelity is enlarging and fragmenting and very very dangerous, but it has been known to retrieve people as well as marriages, so it can't be only bad.

Our strength is in our dreams, and those who do not dare to dream damn themselves.

The older I get, the clearer it becomes to me that no one is cheated in this world, unless it's by himself.
