Quote by Chris Fabry

“It was Pidge's observation that toleration rather than love was what kept her parents together. They were yoked like horses to a plow and they moved through life pulling something neither could see that kept them a safe distances from each other. There was something both admirable and sad in their marital work ethic, and Pidge promised herself she wouldn't settle like they had. It was a promise she broke.”

“Jag vet mycket litet i kvinnofrågan, ty den rör mig icke, men jag tror, efter vad jag sett, att vår generation kommer avskaffa det asiatiska, som ännu finnes i äktenskapet. Båda parterna avsluta ett fritt fördrag, ingen uppger sin självständighet, den ena söker icke uppfostra den andra, man lär sig respektera varandras svagheter och man har ett kamratskap för livet, som icke tröttar genom den ena partens pockande på ömhet. Fru Nicolaus Falk, du vet, den där välgörande djäveln, den anser jag vara ingenting annat än en femme entretenue, och så betraktar hon ju sig själv också; de flesta fruar gifta sig för att få det bra och slippa arbeta, att bli "sin egen"; att där ingås så få äktenskap, det är kvinnans fel, och mannens!”

“Not about anything. Not even when you don’t want me to worry. I know you’re strong and so resilient it’s fucking unbelievable, but you don’t have to always be strong with me. It’s okay to not be okay when you’re with me,” he said, and my breath caught. “It’s my duty as your husband to make sure you feel safe enough to be real. You don’t have to pretend that you’re okay with everything that has happened, Poppy.”
