Do You Want Me to Go? Quotes

“But a marriage is a relationship that lives in the moment”
― Adriana Trigiani, Do You Want Me to Go?: A Short Story

“A woman needs to know that she is the priceless diamond, that she has value and worth, not the things she owns or wears. Loving a man cannot keep him faithful, and being a horrible human being will not cause him to stray. It’s all inside the man; it has nothing to do with who he is married to, or how much money he has or doesn’t have. He has to love himself in order to love his wife. He has to believe in himself on his own without her, or he will always be seeking it elsewhere. You couldn’t be true because you never figured out how wonderful it is to be faithful to another person, because you were never faithful to yourself.”
