“I understand women" ... There's no man alive who can honestly say those words and mean them. It just isn't possible, so there's no use trying. But that doesn't mean you can't love them anyway. And it doesn't mean that you should ever stop doing your best to let them know how important they are to you!”
― Nicholas Sparks , The Wedding

“Marriage is about compromise; it's about doing something for the other person, even when you don't want to.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Wedding

“His fingers bent forward at the topmost joint pushing down against the tips of my nails, and his thumb rested lightly against the mole on my index finger. i thought of mosques and churches and prayer mats. Hands clasped together; one hand resting atop the other; fingers interlocked to mime a steeple. What sacred power is invested in hands?

This is not to say I was having pious thoughts.”
― Kamila Shamsie, Salt and Saffron

“Frugality, I've learned, has its own cost, one that sometimes lasts forever.”
