It is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable.

When you like someone, you like them in spite of their faults. When you love someone, you love them with their faults.

Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.
