1 " He yells, "I want any part of you that you’re willing to give me!"We both fall quiet. Breathing hard. Staring each other down.And his voice drops low. Defeated. "I’ll take anything, Kate.Just . . . don’t tell me it’s over. I won’t accept that. "

4 " La vita non è perfetta. O prevedibile. Non aspettatevi che lo sia.Un minuto prima state nuotando nell'oceano. L'acqua è liscia e tranquilla, siete rilassati. E un attimo dopo, senza alcun preavviso, una risacca vi trascina a fondo.È quello che farete dopo a contare. Farete tutto il possibile? Scalcerete per tornare a galla, anche se le braccia e le gambe vi fanno male? O vi arrenderete e vi lascerete annegare?È il modo in cui reagite agli imprevisti della vita a fare la differenza. "

6 " You said we’re fighting over nothing, and we’re fighting about how you made me feel—so that means you think my feelings are nothing!” his mouth opens, like a fish searching for oxygen. "
7 " For you guys out there who think looking doesn’t hurt? You’re wrong. Because we women don’t think you’re just enjoying the view. We think you’re comparing, finding us lacking. And that stings. Like a paper cut on your eyeball. "
8 " Self-doubts are like weeds; if you don't deal with them right away, they multiply. And before you know it, your garden looks like a jungle in Vietnam. "
9 " forgiveness is selfish. We give it not because it’s earned, but because it’s what we need. To find peace. To be whole. "
10 " I've learned my lesson. For good this time. Seriously. If I come home and Kate is screwing some random guy in our bed? I won't freak out - I won't say a word.I'll just pick her up, toss her over my shoulder, and carry her to the nearest DNA lab to make sure it's actually Kate, and not some evil long-lost twin hell-bent on wrecking our lives. "
11 " Alcohol.It can give the courage to talk dirty and the permission to go home with the bartender.It’s the alibi. The cover story.It wasn’t really you—you were possessed by Captain Morgan and the Grey Goose.Unfortunately, I have a very high tolerance for alcohol.Sucks to be me. "
12 " I should have known better. Arguing with Drew is like dealing with a terrorist. He has no boundaries; nothing’s off limits. There are no depths he won’t sink to to win. Then he looks thoughtful. "
13 " I'm not defending him; I have no idea why he's made the choices he has. But...I can't help but feel sorry for him. Because one day he's going to open his eyes and realize that he's made the biggest mistake of his life. "
14 " Here’s a fact for you: Married men live seven to ten years longer than bachelors. Married women, on the other hand, die about eight years earlier than their single counterparts. Are you shocked? Me neither. "

They’re still going sixty.And that’s what love is like.It doesn’t just stop. No matter how hurt or wronged or angry you are—the love’s still there.Sending you right through the windshield. "
18 " It's nice to meet you, Evay.' I hold out my hand.She just stares at it - like it's a spider crawling out of the shower drain. 'I don't make direct female-to-female contact. It depletes the beautification cells.'O-kay. I glance at Billy. He seems unperturbed. I hook a thumb over my shoulder. 'So...do you guys want to eat? How about a booth?'When Evay answers, her tone is airy, dazed, like a concussion victim. Or an acting coach - *be the tree.*'I have my lunch right here.' She opens he realm to reveal an assortment of capsules that make my prenatals look like baby candy. 'But I need water. Do you have clear water from a snowy mountain spring?'Wow.Somebody call Will Smith - aliens really have landed.'Uh...we don't get much snow around here, this time of year. We have Greenville's finest tap water, though.'She shakes her head. And she still hasn't blinked. Not one freaking time.'I only drink snowy mountain spring water. "
