“It was like how people find other people to be in love with, all random and accidental and lucky.”

“..Such practices and beliefs, which interfere with happiness, are neither inevitable nor necessary; they evolved by chance, as a result of random responses to accidental conditions. But once they become part of the norms and habits of a culture, people assume that this is how things must be; they come to believe they have no other options.”

“The lucky ones are the people like your husband there. The ones who find work that means something to them. That they can really put their heart into, however foolish it might look to other people.”

“Or maybe Jason's right: there are perfect people, many of them, and it's up to you to grab one when you find each other in the random chaos of life and love.”

“Half the people in Lucky Harbor were in love with him.The other half were men and didn't count.”

“People fall out of love. People disappoint other people and they find it hard to forgive.”
