• The people we love are usually stronger than we give them credit for. It is the nature of love, perhaps, to want to shoulder all the pain rather than see the loved one suffer.

• Did she ever feel nostalgia for any of her girlhood dreams? But life was made up of a succession of dreams, some few to be realized, most to be set aside as time went on, one or two to persist for a lifetime. It was knowing when to abandon a dream, perhaps, that mattered and distinguished the successful people in life from the sad, embittered persons who never moved on from the first of life's great disappointments. Or from the airy dreamers who never really lived life at all.

• El negro es la ausencia de todo color. El blanco es la presencia de todos los colores. Supongo que la vida debe ser una cosa o la otra. En general, creo que prefiero el color a su ausencia. Pero el negro añade profundidad y textura al color. Quizá ciertos tonos de gris sean necesarios para una paleta completa. Incluso el negro sin relieve. Ah, una pregunta filosófica profunda. ¿Es el negro necesario para la vida, incluso para una vida feliz? ¿Podríamos ser felices si no experimentáramos al menos ocasionalmente la miseria?

• After you married, Crispin, she said, my heart was broken. I will not deny it. But I did not slip into a sort of suspended life that would be forever gray and meaningless if you did not somehow come back to me. I put back the pieces of my heart and kept on living. I am not the woman I was when I was in love with you and expecting to marry you. I am not the woman I was when I heard that you were married. I am the woman I have become in the five years since then, and she is a totally different person. I like her. I wish to continue living her life.
