“I love being with yo so badWhen we aren't together, I miss you so badOne of these days I'm going to marry you so badand it'll besoso good.”

“Aren't the Amish against violence?Yes, but you see, I'm not very good at being Amish...so remember what I say.”

“I'm going to love you so good and so long you're gonna be convinced no earthly thing could have brought us together”

“Why did you do that, Pedro? It will look ridiculous, you agreeing to marry Rosaura. What happened to the eternal love you swore to Tita? Aren't you going to keep that vow?''Of course I'll keep it. When you're told there's no way you can marry the woman you love, and your only hope of being near her is to marry her sister, wouldn't you do the same?''So you intend to marry without love?''No, Papa. I am going to marry with a great love for Tita that will never die.”

“I don't know," she said. "We used to squabble a lot when we were going together and then engaged and everything, but I thought everything would be so different as soon as you were married. And now I feel so sort of strange and everything. I feel so sort of alone.”

“How could you love us being together?" he asked me "We are nothing alike and we are not meant for each other and we drive each other crazy, you love that? How can you love that?" So I told him "I know that we're not meant for each other, that we drive each other crazy, and that we are so different. But that's us. That's what we have; a wild nonsense. We are not good together, but together we are bad for each other. I love us together this way just like this. Because even if it's no good, it's what we have! It's us.”
