“I watched the way they looked at each other. Any idiot could see they were in love, even if they were the only two idiots who couldn't.”

“I enjoyed watching good-looking idiots looking at each other. A great spectator sport.”

“Hallelujah! It's about time you two idiots figured out that you were made for each other.”

“Soulmates. That was the word. Maggie could sense what it meant. Two people connected, bound to each other forever, soul to soul, in a way that even death couldn't break. Two souls that were destined for each other.”

“Those who understand history are condemned to watch other idiots repeat it.”

“Separation! They were very much alike in ideas and temperament, and just then they were helping each other as much as they could. But I saw clearly--I who was a spectator apart from men and whose gaze soared above them--that they were strangers, and that in spite of all appearances they did not see nor hear each other any more. They conversed as best they could, but neither could yield to the other, and each tried to conquer the other. And this terrible battle broke my heart.”
