Listen she said, everything ends, every single relationship you will ever have in your lifetime is going to end.. I'll die, you'll die, you'll get tired of each other. You don't always know how it's going to happen, but it is always going to happen. So stop trying to make everything permanent, it doesn't work. I want you to go out there and find some nice man you have no intention of spending the rest of your life with. You can be very, very happy with people you aren't going to marry. Ann Patchett
About This Quote

The idea that we can’t make a relationship last forever is, of course, false. However, we can’t make a relationship tedious and boring either. It is important to keep in mind that relationships change, and they often end. It’s like the idea that just because love is not always perfect, that it is impossible to have a perfect relationship. You can have a wonderful relationship that you cherish and share with someone else for years and years.
