Reality is just an interpretation. Some people believe only God really knows what's going on: we mortals just make up our own versions of it.Kate Kerrigan

Trust is nothing when you have it. It's bread and milk. Basic. There's no glamour, no emotion, no drama - you just trust and that's it. Trusting someone is boring. It's a non-event. But take it away - try living without trust and suddenly your relationship is plunged into a living hellhole.Kate Kerrigan

There are lies in tears. The ones we weep most loudly are usually for ourselves, yet how easily we can pass them off as grief.Kate Kerrigan

If you take goodwill for granted and get sloppy, you might get away with it once or twice, but you won't get away with it for ever.

In life loyalty is something that you earn and Doreen had more than earned my loyalty over the years. But marriage is a rogue state with its own rules, and one of them is pledging your loyalty to somebody before you can be fully sure that they deserve it, so you stand their ground. You mess with him? You mess with me. That's the new rule. A husband is instant family. He gets the loyalty of a blood tie without doing any of the work.Kate Kerrigan

When the big things in our life start changing, we rely more heavily on small certainties to make us feel secure.Kate Kerrigan
