“It feels good, honey, but it isn't love.”
― Joyce Carol Oates, You Must Remember This

“There is a limit to the amount of misery and disarray you will put up with, for love, just as there is a limit to the amount of mess you can stand around a house. You can't know the limit beforehand, but you will know when you've reached it. I believe this.”
― Alice Munro
