“Really, it had been stupid to expect anything anyway. A few late nights does not a habit, or a relationship, make.”
“Our relationship had been intended as an interlude. And it had become an interlude. My expectations had been fulfilled. Anyone who expected anything more would have been wallowing in illusions.”
“You shouldn't really expect anything out of a relationship, if you aren't willing to put anything in it...”
“Life, weddings, relationships, road trips, gardening, making out, haircuts: few of the fun things in life always go as expected.”
“It was not really Saturday night, at least it may have been, for they had long lost count of the days; but always if they wanted to do anything special they said this was Saturday night, and then they did it.”
“Just as the habit does not make the monk, the sceptre does not make the king.”
