“The daily life of lovers often begins to share resemblances, so that, in time, each day becomes indistinguishable from the one that came before it. The lovers carry each other’s words in their hearts when apart and when together; they laugh; they talk; they make love; they argue; they eat; they tend to poultry together; they watch television and dream about a future together. This way, time slips and memories accrue until their union becomes the sum of all the words they have said to each other, their laughter, their love-making, their arguments, their eating, their work with the poultry, and all the things they have done together.”

“I knew now that love — no matter how deep — wasn’t enough to transform another person: how they thought, what they believed. At best, we could only change ourselves.”

“She loves deeply, regardless of the love she gets in return, and it is both her greatest strength and her biggest weakness.”
