“L'amore è una forza strana e misteriosa. Conduce per vie che altrimenti non verrebbero mai percorse. È sempre, sempre, molto più dell'incontro fra due persone. Quando vuole che tu... compia un passo avanti... Quando vuole che tu apprenda qualcosa... Allora la vita ti manda l'amore, in modo da essere certa che ciò avvenga. Se vogliamo vivere una vita, ascoltiamo. Però l'amore non è per i pavidi e per gli indecisi, non è un grazioso sentimento da racconto fantastico. È come il mare. È la cosa più bella e più potente che esiste. Al tempo stesso è potenzialmente distruttivo e può annientare qualunque cosa. Sopprime la vita, ci cambia, ci illude, ci lusinga, ci delude e ci inganna. Ci spezza il cuore. Può fare impazzire. Credere che amore e matrimonio siano la stessa cosa è come pensare che il mare e l'acqua in un secchio siano la stessa cosa. Soltanto gli esseri umani possono ingannarsi così.”
