“Saving a worthy relationship is easier than trying to start a new one.”

“Ruthie started to cry at Julia's use of the word "hate," though Ruthie knew it was true, accurate. For a long time now it had been easier just to hate her sister. Easier to try to define the relationship with that simple emotion than to live with the conflicting set of feelings Julia brought forth.”

“It hadn’t always been this way, that’s a cliché, but it is a cliché for a reason. It’s not like anyone starts a relationship with nothing to say to the other person. No-one wants to feel like a complete stranger and live together because it’s easier than trying to remember who owns the copy of Almost Famous – which was mine by the way.”

“It is easier to act yourself into a new way of thinking, than it is to think yourself into a new way of acting.”

“It is easier to act yourself into a new way of feeling than to feel yourself into a new way of acting.”

“I wonder if it's possible to start a new relationship without hurting someone else.”
