Quote by Karen Hinton

“Driving home, I thought of Janice, wondering why I wasn’t upset or hurt by (William) Styron’s wine-soaked moves. Did I give his flirtations a pass because of the alcohol? Was it because he was a famous and a highly praised writer whom I'd wanted to meet? Or did I need to protect him since he was somebody, and I was nobody? I only knew that I didn’t feel abused, like I knew Janice had been…. Styron was famous. But so was Coach, at least in Soso.”

“Talking with Merritt was like slipping into one of those silk-lined borrowed coats from the Challons. Comfortable, luxurious. She was whip-smart, understanding the details, the unsaid words. She had a way of wrapping people in empathy that extended to everyone from the duke down to the young assistant groundskeeper. It was the kind of charm that made people feel wittier, more attractive, more interesting, in her reflected glow. Keir was doing his level best to resist her lure. But he was so drawn to her, so damn besotted. He adored her fancy words... "prevarication"... "resplendent"... her easy smiles... her perfumed wrists and throat. She was like a beautiful gift that begged to be unwrapped. Just being near her made the blood sing in his veins.”

“I see the pain of miserly love in young people,' I say. 'You don't have that kind of melancholy on your face. But I'm careful not to step on your feet when I speak with you. It's not like dancing. It's like a stone walkway with a little grass between the cracks. It's strong but I will try to tread carefully and not ruin it. In Muslim homes you leave your shoes outside. This is how I behave with you.”

“Tovuti za miadi (‘dating sites’) hutumia ‘optimal stopping’ kuwachagulia watu wachumba wao. Wanachofanya ni kwamba wanachagua watu 100. Wanaondoa 37% ya kwanza ya wale ambao sifa zao haziendani na sifa unazozitaka. Kisha wanakuchagulia mtu waliyeona ni bora zaidi kuliko wote waliobakia. Huyo waliyekuchagulia anaweza kuwa mke au mume bora. Lakini Mungu ana mipango yake. Unaweza kushangaa mke au mume bora akatoka kwenye 37% ya wale walioachwa.”
