“It seems, then, we are forced to believe in a real Right and Wrong. People may be sometimes mistaken about them, just as people sometimes get their sums wrong, but they are not a matter of mere taste and opinion any more than the multiplication table.”
“It's not given to people to judge what's right or wrong. People have eternally been mistaken and will be mistaken, and in nothing more than in what they consider right and wrong.”

It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful consideration, getting them wrong again.”
“Sometimes it just happens - to the wrong people at the wrong time.”
“What I do know is sometimes we love the wrong people and sometimes we marry them.”
“Sometimes things don't turn out the way you want them to, Haven. Sometimes the people you choose to believe are wrong.”
