“Every relationship is different. Everyone loves differently.”

“But, like anyone in love, Madeleine believed that her own relationship was different from every other relationship, immune from typical problems.”

“Every human being thinks different things are right, and different things are wrong. Whether something is normal or not, it is still different for every person. Happiness is the same – everyone has their own definition of it.”

“When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship.”

“Family, that slippery word, a star to every wandering bark, and everyone sailing under a different sky.”

“Perhaps the depth of love can be calibrated by the number of different selves that are actively involved in a given relationship.”
