“How is it that two people can be in the same relationship and still have completely different ideas of what’s going on?”

“How two people can be so completely in sync and so completely clueless about each other at the same time is absolutely beyond my ability to comprehend.”

“There's the ambiguity of human relationships, for instance. A relationship between two people, just like a sequence of words, is ambiguous if it is open to different interpretations. And if two people do have differing views about their relationship - I don't just mean about its state, I mean about its very nature - then that difference can affect the entire course of their lives.”

“When it all come down to it, the thing that matters most in a relationship is principles [...] We have the same idea what’s right and what’s wrong, and that’s got us through any number of things. If you can have that with someone, then you’re most of the way toward love. Not just lover-love. Any kind of love.”

“Two people can look at the same thing and see it differently..”

“Two people can be in the same room and still be gone.”
