“We all pretend things sometimes. And sometimes we leave thing too late.”

“Because sometimes when things are going really well, we find the one thing we're pretending we're not looking for.”

“We are all mistaken sometimes; sometimes we do wrong things, things that have bad consequences. But it does not mean we are evil, or that we cannot be trusted ever afterward.”

“I was sorry, though, that our intimacy, like many things that are and will be, had to die with a dying fall. I do not greatly mind endings, for my life is made up of them, but sometimes they come too soon or too late, and sometimes they leave feeling of regret as of an old mistake or an indirect futility.”

“Sometimes late and never amount to the same thing. Sometimes, it has to be now or never.”

“We all try. And try as we might to control things, sometimes bad things get in and it's not our fault.”
