There can be no summary and dramatic end to a marriage - only a slow and painful unravelling of a tangled skein of threads too stubborn to be broken.

I have always had the courage for the new things that life sometimes offers.

You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance.

The real essence of any marriage that has struggled, however unsuccessfully, towards happiness, lies in the growth of a wordless understanding that what is acceptable to one partner will be acceptable to the other.

I was a long time learning that wisdom and experience are things apart; that to taste life is not to be confused with understanding what life is really all about.
