I Hate Patience. Slows Everything Down.

You Don't Fix A Man The Way You Do A Fault In A Pipe Or A Leak In A Roof. You Take Him As He Is, Mary Brenna, Or You Don't Take Him At All...adjustments Can't Be All Made On One Side, Darling, Else The Balance Goes Off And What's Being Built Just Falls Down.

When You Find Nothing... It Means You're Eliminating What Surrounds The Something.

Laurel: I Don't Need A Ring Or A License, Or A Spetacular White Dress. It's Not Marriage So Much, Or At All Really, That Matters. It's The Promise. It's The Knowing Someone Wants Me To Be Part Of His Life. Someone Loves Me, That I'm The One For Him. That's Not Just Enough, It's Everything.

I Write Every Day. Even If I'm Not Writing Well, I Write Through It. I Can Fix A Bad Page. I Can't Fix A Blank One.
