“I see how it is,鈥� I snapped. 鈥淵ou were all in favor of me breaking the tattoo and thinking on my own鈥攂ut that鈥檚 only okay if it鈥檚 convenient for you, huh? Just like your 鈥榣oving from afar鈥� only works if you don鈥檛 have an opportunity to get your hands all over me. And your lips. And聽.聽.聽. stuff.鈥�
Adrian rarely got mad, and I wouldn鈥檛 quite say he was now. But he was definitely exasperated. 鈥淎re you seriously in this much self-denial, Sydney? Like do you actually believe yourself when you say you don鈥檛 feel anything? Especially after what鈥檚 been happening between us?鈥�
鈥淣othing鈥檚 happening between us,鈥� I said automatically. 鈥淧hysical attraction isn鈥檛 the same as love. You of all people should know that.鈥�
鈥淥uch,鈥� he said. His expression hadn鈥檛 changed, but I saw hurt in his eyes. I鈥檇 wounded him. 鈥淚s that what bothers you? My past? That maybe I鈥檓 an expert in an area you aren鈥檛?鈥�
鈥淥ne I鈥檓 sure you鈥檇 just love to educate me in. One more girl to add to your list of conquests.鈥�
He was speechless for a few moments and then held up one finger. 鈥淔irst, I don鈥檛 have a list.鈥� Another finger, 鈥淪econd, if I did have a list, I could find someone a hell of lot less frustrating to add to it.鈥� For the third finger, he leaned toward me. 鈥淎nd finally, I know that you know you鈥檙e no conquest, so don鈥檛 act like you seriously think that. You and I have been through too much together. We鈥檙e too close, too connected. I wasn鈥檛 that crazy on spirit when I said you鈥檙e my flame in the dark. We chase away the shadows around each other. Our backgrounds don鈥檛 matter. What we have is bigger than that. I love you, and beneath all that logic, calculation, and superstition, I know you love me too. Running away and fleeing all your problems isn鈥檛 going to change that. You鈥檙e just going to end up scared and confused.鈥�
鈥淚 already feel that way,鈥� I said quietly.
Adrian moved back and leaned into his seat, looking tired. 鈥淲ell, that鈥檚 the most accurate thing you鈥檝e said so far.鈥�
I grabbed the basket and jerked open the car door. Without another word, I stormed off, refusing to look back in case he saw the tears that had inexplicably appeared in my eyes. Only, I wasn鈥檛 sure exactly which part of our conversation I was most upset about.”

“My husband would do anything for me ...' It's degrading. No human being ought to have such power over another."
"It's a very real power, Harriet."
"Then ... we won't use it. If we disagree, we'll fight it out like gentlemen. We won't stand for matrimonial blackmail.”

“He had never quarreled much with this woman, while with the women that he loved he had quarreled so much they had finally, always, with the corrosion of the quarreling, killed what they had together. He had loved too much, demanded too much, and he wore it all out.”

“Listen, Harriet. I do unterstand. I know you don't want either to give or to take ... You don't want ever again to have to depend for happiness on another person."
"That's true. That's the truest thing you ever said."
"All right. I can respect that. Only you've got to play the game. Don't force an emotional situation and then blame me for it."
"But I don't want any situation. I want to be left in peace.”

“Then all at once our personal and political quarrels were made very abruptly to converge. In the special edition of the London Review of Books published to mark the events of September 11, 2001, Edward painted a picture of an almost fascist America where Arab and Muslim citizens were being daily terrorized by pogroms, these being instigated by men like Paul Wolfowitz who had talked of 'ending' the regimes that sheltered Al Quaeda. Again, I could hardly credit that these sentences were being produced by a cultured person, let alone printed by a civilized publication.”

“There had been a quarrel, she had been hurt, had wept. Now it was over; now she sat still and waited. Life would go on. As with children. As with animals. If only you did not talk, did not make simple things complicated, did not turn your soul inside out.”

“If we were all on board ship and there was trouble among the stewards, I can just conceive their chief spokesman looking with disfavor on anyone who stole away from the fierce debates in the saloon or pantry to take a breather on deck. For up there, he would taste the salt, he would see the vastness of the water, he would remember that the ship had a whither and a whence. He would remember things like fog, storms, and ice. What had seemed, in the hot, lighted rooms down below to be merely the scene for a political crisis, would appear once more as a tiny egg-shell moving rapidly through an immense darkness over an element in which man cannot live. It would not necessarily change his convictions about the rights and wrongs of the dispute down below, but it would probably show them in a new light. It could hardly fail to remind him that the stewards were taking for granted hopes more momentous than that of a rise in pay, and the passengers forgetting dangers more serious than that of having to cook and serve their own meals. Stories of the sort I am describing are like that visit to the deck. They cool us.”

鈥淥h, I know that,鈥� Mitch says, his eyes boring into me as my feet hit the grass.”

“We know that positive thoughts brings positive results. In India how many people knows it? How many are carrying it ? Otherwise there is no quarrel, fights, arguments, etc. I think this is the name of human beings. Do you agree or it?”

“You need to grow up and deal with the fact that just because I can do some stuff doesn't mean I can do everything we used to, even if it makes you feel bad, because pretending it don't happen doesn't stop it from being a thing. it just is.”

“I felt a looming sense of despair, as I had the last time, I鈥檇 gotten a DUI. It was a repeat of what had happened before, except this time I didn鈥檛 flip them off, cuss them out, and pee on the floor. I was too deflated to quarrel. As I sat there, I realized that this time I wasn鈥檛 disappointed or angry with them, but with myself. To my surprise, I found myself telling them that I was sorry and that I wished none of this had ever happened.”
