I hope to be remembered as an author who defined and exemplified excellence in crafting the modern love story.

...his wartime experience had taught him to trust his instincts, even though he'd never been sure where they'd come from.

Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life. Work's important, family's important, but without excitement, you have nothing. You're cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what's coming.

Everyone is always going through tough things, the irony in it is that everyone thinks what they're going through is just as hard as what you are. Life isn't about surviving this, it's about understanding this.

Marriage is a partnership, not a democracy.

People in pain don’t always see things as clearly as they should.

Don't take my advice. Or anyone's advice. Trust yourself. For good or for bad, happy or unhappy, it's your life, and what you do with it has always been entirely up to you.
