“Reading was something I did only as a girl back when my mother was alive. Back then it seemed there was more time in the day and more things to do for pleasure. I know part of that was simply being a child and not knowing how harsh the world could be.”

“I just wanted to let you know that you have a friend, if you ever need one. And I think you're lovely. Despite often behaving to the contrary. And I think that maybe someone made you feel like you weren't lovely and he shouldn't have. But anyway. There we are.”

“The love stories sold us the wrong thing. The best kind of love doesn’t happen on moonlit walks and romantic vacations. It happens in between the folds of everyday life. It’s not grand gestures that show how you feel, it’s all the little secret things you do to make her life better that you never tell her about. Taking the end piece of the bread at breakfast so she can have the last middle piece for her sandwich when you pack her lunch. Making sure her car always has gas so she never has to stop at the pump. Telling her you’re not cold and to take your jacket when you are in fact, very, very cold. It’s watching TV on a rainy Sunday while you’re doing laundry and turning her light off when she’s fallen asleep reading. Sharing pizza crusts and laughing about something the kids did and taking care of each other when you’re sick. It isn’t glamorous, it isn’t all butterflies and stars in your eyes. It’s real. This is the kind of love that forever is made of. Because if it’s this good when life is draining and mundane and hard, think of how wonderful it will be when the love songs are playing and the moon is out.”

“It didn't mean anything," Max sobbed quietly. "She's nothing."
"That's even worse," hissed Annie. "That poor girl! For God's sake, Max, if you're going to ruin what was left of our marriage, at least do it for something more than nothing.”

“We could build effigies of Max and Ellie and burn them along with it. Like the ultimate closure!"
"You've got a dark side Marianne," Said Annie. "My kitchen is in good hands. The staff will never dare to cross you.”
