"There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. Its thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!"
"Love is a crazy word. Which Can't be defined, if defined, you can't find it, if found, you can't get it. If you get it, you can't forget it and if forgotten, you haven't felt it."
"Jane reflexively accommodates my fears and desires, as I do hers; together, man and wife, we collude in a mutual conspiracy to shelter and protect one another from our own and each other's inevitable and final abandonment."
Love isn't an act. It's a whole life. It's staying with her now because she needs you, it's knowing you and she will still care about each other when sex and day dreams, fights and futures- when all thats on the shelf and done with. Love- why, i'll tell you what love is: it's you at seventy-five, and her at seventy-one, each of you listening for each other's step in the next room, each afraid that a sudden silence, a sudden cry, could mean a lifetime's talk is over.
"My marriage had its ups and downs like anyone's, but when it came down to it, I knew it was solid. I miss that sort of security, and that sort of connection with someone."
"I have discovered perfection obtained is a discomforting state and i get restless. What do you do when everything is just the way you want it to be? I want for nothing, and that leaves me feeling empty.. not wanting. And I just want to want again."
