“Gray imagined Kat scolding her husband in an operatic duet that has been going on between husbands and wives for ages, that eternal mix of exasperation and love." -- James Rollins”

“the harsh truth of every relationship, even between those who love each other, like fathers and sons and daughters, or husbands and wives, is that the love is always unequal.”

For the women who deserved more than their husband's whim.”

“In every relationship one must sacrifice to show thy love. Are you willing to make sacrifices for someone you love?”
