“love that doesn’t include honesty doesn’t deserve to be called love.”
― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

“one of the hardest things to admit is that we weren’t loved when we needed it most. It’s a terrible feeling, the pain of not being loved.”
― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

“About love. About how we often mistake love for fireworks—for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It’s boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm—and constant. I imagine you do give Kathy love—in the true sense of the word. Whether or not she is capable of giving it back to you is another question.”
― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

“Even when you have nothing left in your life, hope is the one thing that can never be taken away.”
― Jeneva Rose, The Perfect Marriage
