“Jessica..." The sound of his voice saying my name soothed me, and it's all I wanted to hear him say. Just my name, over and over and over again in his buttery baritone. I wanted my name to be his mantra, the word he meditated on, his tool for finding calm in the world.

“Jessica Trent was a thin, freckled redhead who had more fire in her hair than her demeanor. Caroline had spoken to the mother of two on several occasions, but being that she and Jessica were both fairly shy, they hadn't managed to connect. Shy people, in Caroline's experience, rarely forged successful friendships because they need an extrovert to make things happen. Someone to take the first step, make the first phone call, and assume the initial risk. Shy people like Caroline and Jessica require a facilitator of sorts to get things started, and there had been no one to bring the women together. It was a shame. Caroline suspected that she and Jessica Trent had a lot in common.”
“Jessica walked away from Aaron and Ken, flashing them both a big smile. They were both very attractive - she had dated each of them a number of times. In fact, not too long ago she had contemplated falling in love with Ken for lack of anything better to do.”
“Jessica was easier, her character already fixed at the age of eight. Loyal, resourceful, confident, annoying. Clever, too clever sometimes. Too clever for her own good, their father said but their mother said, That's impossible. Especially for a girl.”

"Not now," he said crossly. "I haven't time to pick you up.”

“Jessica's Daisy Dukes are even shorter than Catherine Bach's, which I honestly didn't think was possible.”
“Jessica, I know I've been...difficult," he said. "All the same—" "Difficult?" She looked up, her grey eyes wide, "You have been impossible. I begin to think you are not right in the upper storey. I knew you wanted me. The only thing I've never doubted was that. But getting you into bed— you, the greatest whoremonger in Christendom— gad, it was worse than the time I had to drag Bertie to the tooth-drawer. And if you think I mean to be doing that the rest of our days, you had better think again. The next time, my lord, you will do the seducing— or there won't be any, I vow.”
“Jessica: “You great drunken jackass!” Dain: “I did not give you leave to use my Christian name.”
“Jessie eyed the row of costumes and picked one, a sly smile forming on her lips. “I’m going to be Little Red Riding Hood.”

“Jest faktem - faktem, czyli nieubłaganą potęgą przed którą trzeba się ugiąć - że wierszy się nie czyta. Że nikt prawie nie jest w stanie odróżnić dobrego obrazu od złego. Że wyścigi tych koni, to jest, przepraszam, rozmaitych zziajanych pianistów, czy innych wirtuozów, ubiegających się o pierwszeństwo, mają akurat tyle wspólnego ze sztuką co wyścigi końskie. Że muzea są czymś arcymartwym i przyprawiającym o zawrót głowy.”
