“Marriage means leaving, cleaving, and becoming one—not about who moves first or who meets in the middle, but about joining hearts as one.”

“Один із розділів «De Amore» розповідає про «любовні справи», а також про двори Марії та інших знатних леді - зібрання, які тепер здаються лише витонченою вигадкою: В однієї леді був цілком підхожий коханий. Проте згодом вона, не зі своєї вини, вступила у шлюб з іншим знатним чоловіком, після чого стала уникати свого коханого й відмовляти йому у звичних утіхах. Проте леді Ерменгарда Нарбонська описала погану вдачу леді такими словами: «Подальше укладання шлюбу не виключає попередньої любові, хіба в тих випадках, коли жінка цілком відкидає любов і рішуче налаштована взагалі більше не любити...».”

“(A Flock of Geese) She often wondered why an inexplicable sorrow wells within her each time a flock of geese takes to the sky… Do their flights remind her that she has wasted her life in the trivialities of daily existence? Or do they hint that she has lost her own capacity to fly? Sometimes, in her sadness, she reflects on years poured out like a naïve bride dreaming of the perfect groom— planning every minute detail until her wings were clipped, unaware that the bride, the groom, the wedding are roles society invented to tether those who yearn to build new worlds rather than hang in one made for them by others. When the honking of another passing flock echoes overhead—just as her most beautiful years flew by— that cry ignites in her an uncontrollable urge to depart, to reject the illusion of home and stability, the wedding and the groom, the guests dancing through the night celebrating the clipping of her wings… December 14, 2023”

“A failed marriage is the most humiliating confirmation of the transitory seduction of the flesh. Lovers can explore every line, every curve and hollow, of the beloved's body, can together reach the height of inexpressible ecstasy; yet how little it matters when love or lust at last dies and we are left with disputed possessions, lawyers' bills, the sad detritus of the lumber-room, when the house chose, furnished, possessed with enthusiasm and hope has become a prison, when faces are set in lines of peevish resentment and bodies no longer desired are observed in all their imperfections with a dispassionate and disenchanted eye.”
