"it gives marianne a window onto real happiness, though a window she cannot open herself or ever climb through." yup same

"marianne, i'm not a religious person but i do sometimes think god made you for me" fckkkkkk

marianne talking about her insecurities "well, i don't feel lovable. i think i have an unlovable sort of... i have a coldness about me, i'm difficult to like." yeah same
