Quote by Lauren Edmondson

“In the old romantic comedies, those of our childhoods, there was always the running scene, was there not? Through the crowd. Dashing, not a moment to spare. To the choice that should’ve been clear as day. To destiny. When you know how the rest of your life should be lived, you want to start the rest of your life as soon as possible. My destination, though—not a man, but my true and best self.”

“Stephen, listen, I hate what I'm going to say, but by God, it's got to be said to you somehow! You're courageous and fine and you mean to make good, but life with you is spiritually murdering Mary. Can't you see it? Can't you realize that she needs all the things that it's not in your power to give her? Children, protection, friends whom she can respect and who'll respect her—don't you realize this, Stephen? A few may survive such relationships as yours, but Mary Llewellyn won't be among them. She's not strong enough to fight the whole world, to stand up against persecution and insult; it will drive her down, begun to already—already she's been forced to turn to people like Wanda. I know what I'm saying, I've seen the thing—the bars, the drinking, the pitiful defiance, the horrible, useless wastage of lives—well, I tell you it's spiritual murder for Mary.”
