"We are none of us alone in this world and of all the things we are not, we are not islands""There is no such thing as a grown person who has forgotten their childhood""Everyone has two memories. The one you can tell and the one that is stuck to the underside of that, the dark, tarry smear of what happened""Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are""The past is a candle at great distance: too close to let you quit, too far to comfort you""Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner""You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful"
