Poor souls, they are very reasonably vexed!

It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom.

I remember during my lifetime I would meet women, and it was almost like God would say to me, 'Now, this woman here is not the one you are going to end up with, but she is going to be a lot like this woman; look at this woman, study this woman.'
