“Words just confused things -- when they held each other like this, it made so much more sense.”

“We held each other the entire night, no words spoken but the still, silent night uttered so much.”

“Like a couple that communicates by intention nearly as much as by word, so in tune are they to each other and their surroundings.”

“Watching them, she realized they made so much sense together. Every look, every touch, was a reassurance, almost electric, as if they were shocking each other with every contact.”

“The words are the words of English, but the sense is the sense of confusion.”

“Nobody ever feels just one way about another person, Margo. We're so much more complicated than that. I can see a million things you want from me, just like the million things I want from you. Some of them are wonderful. Some are awful. Some contradict each other, and some don't make sense at all. But none of those things matter, not really. What matters is what you do about them.”
