“Let us agree that we are marrying so we can go on quarreling in the greatest comfort and convenience. Oh, please, Althea, look at me. Do say yes.”

“Aravis also had many quarrels (and, I'm afraid even fights) with Cor, but they always made it up again: so that years later, when they were grown up they were so used to quarreling and making it up again that they got married so as to go on doing it more conveniently.”

“You know what? Lets go." I shot Aiden a defiant look. "Come on Seth. Let's go continue our lovers' quarrel.""Yes my love, that sounds fantastic. Don't forget to grab a dagger so you can poke my eyeballs out.”

“I say yes, turn the other cheek, and let me slap your butt again. Forgiveness can be oh so naughty.”

“Healing takes time, and its duration cannot be controlled.Some people are angry with us, or we are angry with them.Some people leave us, or we leave them.All this hurts, and takes time to heal.We don't have power over the amount of time it takes to heal all these grievances.Yet, no matter how powerless we are over the time it takes to heal, we do have all the power that truly matters.And this is the power to say YES to Healing.This is the greatest power possible, for when we say YES to healing, time disappears. And then there is only the YES, which is the power of choice to heal.Time is always filled with grievances, because through time people come and go from our life, and we come and go from theirs.When time ends, Healing begins.And time can end now, if you say YES to Healing.And if you say YES to Healing, you are with everyone and everyone is with you, unconditionally, right now, and forever. Hence, I do say YES to Healing, and, if you wish,you can also join me,for I love to Heal with you.”

“Nick, I have to-” “NO YOU DON’T! I am risking everything for you and you are going to let him kill you, Keely! Please. Please don’t do this. I can protect you. We can go. We can get in the car and just drive away. We can hide.” He takes her hands in his, grips them firmly. “We can go anywhere you want. Just please stay with me.”
