  2. We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck . . . But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness.

  3. When we describe what the other person is really like, I suppose we often picture what we want. We look through the prism of our need.

  4. You can fire your secretary, divorce your spouse, abandon your children. But they remain your co-authors forever.
