“She was the curator of her marriage, collector of swift quotes and unremarked-upon sensations.”
“He dipped close for a swift, sweet kiss. Pen soaked up every beautiful sensation, as well as how her heart eased its nervous twitch. She beat more steadily now.”

“In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic; a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts; an enabler rather than a reformer.”

“Marriage is always a hopeless idiocy for a woman who has enough of her own to live upon.”
