“Every relationship has at least one really good day. What I mean is, no matter how sour things go, there's always that day. That day is always in your possession. That's the day you remember. You get old and you think: well, at least I had that day. It happened once. You think all the variables might just line up again. But they don't. Not always. I once talked to a woman who said, "Yeah, that's the day we had an angel around.” ThinkingWellsMeanSaidMatterMightRememberLinesHappenedAngelYeahPossessionGood DayRemember YouRemembers YouSourVariables Book:The feast of love Source: The feast of love
“What's agitating about solitude is the inner voice telling you that you should be mated to somebody, that solitude is a mistake. The inner voice doesn't care about who you find. It just keeps pestering you, tormenting you--if you happen to be me--with homecoming queens first, then girls next door, and finally anybody who might be pleased to see you now and then at the dinner table and in bed on occasion. You look up from reading the newspaper and realize that no one loves you, and no one burns for you.” IfsShouldFirstsLooksMightHappensCareGirlReadingNextVoiceRealizingMistakeDoorsLove YouSolitudeBedTablesDinnerNewspapersOccasionsQueensLook UpNow And ThenOne LoveInner VoiceHomecomingDinner TableHomecoming Queen Book:The feast of love Source: The feast of love
