- "Love can change a person the way a parent can change a baby - awkwardly, and often with a great deal of mess."

- "One of the remarkable things about love is that, despite very irritating people writing poems and songs about how pleasant it is, it really is quite pleasant."

- "If one's safety is threatened, one often finds courage one didn't know one had. In times of great stress one can often find energy hidden in even the most exhausted areas of the body."

- "It is often difficult to admit that someone you love is not perfect, or to consider aspects of a person that are less than admirable."
