“How could two people seem so perfect together, be so happy together, an yet be so wrong in so many others' eyes?”

“Kissing is a means of getting two people so close together that they can’t see anything wrong with each other.” —RENE YASENEK”

“It was foolish, it was wrong, to take so active a part in bringing any two people together.”

“Bring together things that have not yet been brought together and did not seem predisposed to be so.”

“I was always either so unreasonably and pointlessly happy that no one place could seem to contain me, or so melancholy, so sick and silly with sadness that there was no place I could stomach the thought of entering. I hated it here. And I have never been as happy as when I was here. And these two things together confront me with the beak and claws of the True.”
