“Was there some basic flaw in her makeup that made her keep falling in love with this man who couldn’t love her back?”
“A woman will never fall in love with a man who doesn’t dominate her, however slightly.”
“He always loved her because of, not in sprite of, her flaws.”
“She was sleeping in a quiet bedroom beside her brother, separated only by glass and sand from the young man she loved, a young man who loved her back”
“To a good man, yes, one who knows her in all her moods, who can laugh at her follies and rejoice in her virtues; who will not allow her to give in to her worst instincts; one who knows her, and who, knowing her, will still love her, and love her as she should be loved.”
“Every woman wants a man who'll fall in love with her soul as well as her body.”
