“If you pretendthat LIFE isexciting,it will be.That'sjust how our heartswork.”

“It is the facts that some people will never fit in our life, no matter how much you want them.”

“How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves.”

“How can I be reasonable? To me our love was everything and you were my whole life. It is not very pleasant to realize that to you it was only an episode.”

“With age comes wisdom, with wisdom comes perception, with perception comes how you view life, how you view life comes how you handle life, and how you handle life comes how you will dictate the way you live for the rest of your life.”

“How gleefully life shreds our well crafted plans.”
