“Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of bar-room vernacular, that is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed but attentive.”

“Would you ever decide to do all your exercising just one day out of every week? Would you choose to consume your weekly calorie intake in one sitting? Would you take all your vitamins and medications for the week on one day and restrict your conversations and socializing to that day? Would you determine to do all your laughing, crying, and meditating on one out of every seven days? Would you sleep for 24 to 48 hours consecutively to stay awake for the remainder of the week?
Of course not!
Certainly our physical, emotional, and mental health require daily efforts. We do not expect healthiness to come from attending to our needs just one day a week. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, relationships, emotional expression, self-monitoring—these require daily attention. So why would you think to keep spiritually healthy by doing all your praying and scripture study only one day out of seven?”

“Say it, Rosie. Don’t make me think I’m bullying you into this.”
“I’m not inviting you into my bed. But you are awfully warm, and I can’t seem to shake this chill and...” She hugged her arms around her waist but bravely held his gaze. “I don’t want to be alone tonight. Would you stay with me?”
The taut line of his mouth relaxed. “I like a clear set of rules, too. So no hanky-panky, but you wouldn’t be adverse to a little cuddling? You know, so I can keep an eye on you and you could borrow some body heat?”
“That would be enough for you?”
He brushed a copper tendril off her cheek and tucked it behind her ear. “That would be perfect.”
Rosemary smiled. “Then I can live with those rules, too.”

Home building, therefore, should be the paramount purpose of parents and of the nation.”

“Would you just stay with me?
Stay with you? What for? Look at us! We're already fighting!
Well that's what we do! We fight! You tell me when I'm being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you're being a pain in the ass! Which you are, 99% of the time.
