“Marriage, which has been the bourne of so many narratives, is still a great beginning, as it was to Adam and Eve, who kept their honey-moon in Eden, but had their first little one among the thorns and thistles of the wilderness.

― George Elliot, Middlemarch

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
