“If there’s one thing every man loves to do, it’s telling a woman how to do something.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Scandal in Spring

“It was strange, to find a woman who could make him happy just with her mere presence. He didn’t even have to see her, or hear her voice, or even smell her scent. He just had to know that she was there.”
― Julia Quinn, An Offer From a Gentleman

“A sad statement of a man’s life, that the world should have been so improved by his absence.”
― Lisa Kleypas, It Happened One Autumn

“Ah, well … at last I realized that God would never ask of me that which I know to be psychologically impossible; that the love which He asked was in my will and not meant to be felt as emotion. No. Not at all. He was asking that I act with love; that I do unto others; and that I should do it unto those who repelled me, I believe, was a greater act of love than any other.”
― William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist
