“-الرجال لا يتزوجون الجميلات فقط.
- لو أن الجمال هو المقياس الوحيد للزواج لبارت نصف نساء الأرض، فهناك أنواع أخرى من الجمال تكمن فى أعماق المرأة، كوفائها وطيبتها، ومرحها و إخلاصها، وكل رجل على وجه الأرض يبحث عن واحد من أوجه الجمال هذه، وعادة ما يكون هذا الوجه هو ما يفتقده فى تعاملاته كثيراً.
- فالرجل السطحى وحده هو الذى يسعى خلف جمال الوجه والجسد، أما الرجل العاقل فيبحث عن امرأة وفية مخلصة، تتخلى عن العالم من أجله، وتظل مخلصة له طيلة حياتها، دون أن تطمع فى أكثر من حبه وحنانه.”
― لا تقل وداعاً

“I believe I told you I am utterly serious. I never lie."
"Now that is a clanker if ever I heard one." she retorted.
"Well, then, I never lie about anything important."
Her hands found their way to her hips and she let out a loud, "Harumph.”

“Ellie had a feeling he thought she was exaggerating. "I am not jesting. Yesterday she presented me with two lists. The first consisted of chores I must perform in addition to those I already do."
"What, did she have you cleaning out the chimney?" Charles teased.
"Yes!" Ellie burst out. "Yes, and it was not a joke!"”

“I shall freckle."
"That doesn't bother me," he said with a shrug.
