When a woman thinks her husband is a fool, her marriage is over. They may part in one year or ten; they may live together until death. But if she thinks he is a fool, she will not love him again.

He promised her that he would give her everything, everything she wanted, as men in love always do. And she trusted him despite herself, as women in love always do.

If there is love enough,then nothing-not nature, not even death itself- can come between two who love each other.

I never thought it would end like this. I never thought he would leave me without saying goodbye.

I am in the interesting position of being sometimes skimmed by the critics and called literature and sometimes called historical fiction.

I have given my word that only death will take me from you.

There are many sorts of love. And when you love a man who is less than you dreamed, you have to make allowances for the difference between a real man and a dream. Sometimes you have to forgive him. Perhaps you even have to forgive him often. But forgiveness often comes with love.
