“People who truly love us can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive us our worst sins. Rarely do you find someone capable of both.”
“I would have given him everything. I would have pulled down planets to make our life work.”
“Its easy to lose sight of what you want when you think you want everything.”
- From Kissing the Beehive
Miss Idaho Potato, 1935
“The good looking man in an elegant dark suit, his large strong hands playing with the woman’s black sunglasses as he listens. His expression is amused and mischievous. He know this woman and he thinks she’s terrific. She’s leaning in towards him across the glowing tablecloth. She brushes her hair back one moment, touches his hand the next. She can’t stop talking; she has to tell him everything.”
From “The Great Walt of China,” The Woman Who Married a Cloud
