Memorable Quotes

"...Dominique Sauvet, my first true love and quite possibly the girl against whom none of my subsequent nineteen wives or nine hundred lovers could ever quite compare."

"One can only stare at her and marvel. She'd be perfect if one could only find a flaw."

"...every so often a natural disaster comes along, an act of God, and it blows all the dust away and when it does people can see that whatever's left underneath ain't so pretty."

"...sometimes those whom we perceive as friends are simply people with whom we spend a lot of time."

"...sometimes one can realise that a person is unworthy of love and love them anyway; one can form an unexplainable attachment that cannot be broken even when the object of one's affection breaks the confidences with which you entrusted them. Sometimes the one you love is blind to your feelings and for all your conversation you cannot find the words to explain it."
