“She used to think love was like a house. Once it was built, a person got to live in it forever. But now she wondered if love was more like a war with new foes constantly appearing and battles creeping up. Winning at love was less about succeeding in a battle and more about continuing to fight, to choose the person you loved as the one you were willing to die for, over and over.”

“We like to forget that men imprisoned women in the house and expected gratitude in return.”

“Ja tu salaidīsi visu dēlī, Džūd, ja turpināsi melot cilvēkam, kurš tevi mīl no visas sirds un vienmēr ir pieņēmis tevi tādu, kāds esi, tu varēsi vainot tikai sevi. Tā būs tava vaina: ne jau tavas būtības, pārciestās pagātnes, slimību vai priekšstata par savu ārieni dēļ, bet tāpēc, ka tu uzvedies šādi un neuzticies Vilemam pietiekami, lai runātu ar viņu un izturētos pret viņu ar tādu pašu labvēlību un ticību, ar kādu viņš vienmēr, vienmēr ir izturējies pret tevi.
Jā, tu domā, ka sargā viņu, taču tā nav. Tu esi savtīgs. Tu esi savtīgs, stūrgalvīgs un lepns, un sabojāsi vislabāko, kas ar tevi jebkad noticis.”

“You can't ask someone to help you without letting them know you're different than advertised, that you've been thinking and feeling strange things this whole time. That you're uglier, weaker, more annoying, more basic, less interesting than promised. Without letting on that your feelings are easily hurt, and that you are boring, just like everyone else. Once you expose yourself as insecure it's easy to feel resentment if you're not immediately put back at ease.
If there's even a flicker, a tiny recognition of your bad qualities, the resentment kicks in, the deal is broken, and suddenly you're both angry strangers, spending hours alone in a room together and completely unsure why.”
