“To say goodbye is to die a little.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye

“Familiarity is not the same as knowledge. But sometimes it's the best we can hope for. We can only love or hate what the other seems to be.”
― Linden MacIntyre, Why Men Lie

“But once upon a time a weakness was a challenge to be overcome or hidden.Now we deceive ourselves, thinking that our private weaknesses don't matter. We reveal them freely, sometimes unsolicited, hoping that our disclosure of vulnerability will be interpreted as a sign of trust and will warrant kindness, or tolerance at least, in return. So naive we are, our sad belief in sympathy.”
― Linden MacIntyre

“Before you hate something you should try to understand it.”
― Martha Grimes, Dakota
