“પ્રિય લોકો પરફેક્ટ હોય એવો આગ્રહ છોડી દેવો. કારણકે કોઈના પરફેક્ટ બનવાની પ્રતીક્ષા કરતાં રહીશું, તો એમને ક્યારેય ચાહી નહીં શકીએ. આપણે ક્યારેય કોઈને ટુકડાઓમાં નથી ચાહી શક્તા. એમની સિલેક્ટેડ લાક્ષણિકતાઓને પ્રેમ કરીએ, અને અપ્રિય બાબતોને ધિક્કારીએ, એવું શક્ય નથી બનતું. પ્રિયજનને એમની અપૂર્ણતાઓ સાથે સ્વીકારી લેવા પડે છે. એમની અણગમતી બાજુઓને એમના વ્યક્તિત્વનો એક ભાગ ગણીને સ્વીકારી લેવી પડે છે. મોટાભાગે આપણી પાસે બે જ વિકલ્પો હોય છે, પ્રિય વ્યક્તિને કાં તો છોડી દેવી પડે છે, ને કાં તો એની અપૂર્ણતા સાથે સ્વીકારી લેવી પડે છે. કોઈ બદલાઈ એવી શરતે કે એવી આશામાં, ક્યારેય કોઈને ચાહી નથી શકાતા. જેના પરફેક્ટ બનવાની પ્રતીક્ષા કે જેને પરફેક્ટ બનાવવાનો પ્રયત્ન કરીએ છીએ, એને પામી નથી શક્તા.”

“Young Bride had a scratch on her neck from the knife, but no other external injuries. It seemed she was killed by the shock the drunks gave her. After sixty-odd years, reliving the trauma of that fateful night was too much to bear. There was no funeral procession. She was buried on the unlucky hill on the outskirts of the village. The crickets, however, remained around her shack and continued to sing until the first snow fell.”

“I have a car to drop us off." He pointed to a sleek, black Escalade, and a uniformed driver leaped out to open the doors. Ken leaned over and whispered, "Nice touch." Grace wondered when the last time was that New London had seen a chauffeur. Von must have booked the service through Green Bay. He always did know how to make the grand gesture. Like when he'd brought her three dozen pink roses to match her rose-colored chiffon prom dress. And then there was the crowning touch, a small box of fresh strawberries dipped in his family's legendary Vasser chocolate. She could still practically taste the berries, ripe and sweet, with the contrast of the bittersweet dark chocolate.”
