My parents danced together, her head on his chest. Both had their eyes closed. They seemed so perfectly content. If you can find someone like that, someone who you can hold and close your eyes to the world with, then you're lucky. Even if it only lasts for a minute or a day. The image of them gently swaying to the music is how I picture love in my mind even after all these years.

Patrick RothfussFrequently, an author gets "orphaned" at a publisher.

It sucks for the author because suddenly the person who liked your book enough to buy it isn't around to help you edit and promote it.
