“I guess it's about what you have to give up to gain something else...Did you always have to give something up for a gain?”

“And no relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater. ”

“Change was as much about loss as gain, about giving something up even as you reached for something new or different. The world was opening up, not closing in.”

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

“No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”

“You cant gain something, without giving something in return”
