In the end it was Tabby who cast the deciding vote, as she so often has at crucial moments in my life. I'd like to think I've done the same for her from time to time, because it seems to me that one of the things marriage is about is casting the tiebreaking vote when you just can't decide what you should do next. Stephen King
About This Quote

The first time I read this quote, I was really confused. So I researched it and found out that the author of this quote is a British politician, Harold Macmillan. What I didn't know is that he was Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1957 to 1963. In the end, the quote is about politics and not love.
