I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this.

I was like a chocolate in a box, looking well-behaved and perfect in place, all the while harboring a secret center.

Let me tell you, you either have chemistry or you don't, and you better have it, or it's like kissing some relative. But chemistry, listen to me, you got to be careful. Chemistry is like those perfume ads, the ones that look so interesting and mysterious but you don't even know at first what they're even selling. Or those menus without the prices. Mystery and intrigue are going to cost you. Great looking might mean something very expensive, and I don't mean money. What I'm saying is, chemistry is a place to start, not an end point.

Marriage is like a well-built porch. If one of the two posts leans too much, the porch collapses. So each must be strong enough to stand on its own.

Maybe a person's world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth.

Maybe it was better to be who he thought I was than who I thought I was.
