My Favourite Wife, Tony Parsons
You see, I loved her. It was love at first sight, at last sights, at ever and ever sight.
-p.1
‘This is what you shall do,’ he said again. ‘Love the earth and the sun and the animals, despite riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labour to other, hate tyrants, argue not concerning god, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men.’
-p.193
What I the problem was not trying to meet someone great by that you would meet a lot of great people? What if the problem was not finding someone worthy to love, but meeting an endless number of people who were worthy of love? What then? Was that a blueprint for a happy life? Or a recipe for disaster?
