I tried, I really tried, to stick with it. I planned to grow old with this man and possibly die in his arms.

I was always on guard and I was always prepared for him to be upset with me. I had lived feeling uneasy and tense for so long.

Being married definitely took work. When we fought, I felt like I wanted to float away and drown, whereas before I knew I could walk away without any strings attached.

I had no intention of forsaking my wedding vows. I had strong morals and never could have imagined going against them. I was never even tempted to stray.

I didn’t want to get burned. I didn't want to be the other woman, but I wanted him with all my might.

He wanted revenge and I knew he would not stop until he got it. I had to hope he would run out of fuel.

At times, it felt so odd being with a man in such an intimate way who was not my husband.

This very easy divorce had become very difficult. I thought I was in the express lane and it was all fast tracks from there. Think again.

I had to get used to it because my life was no longer safe and I was no longer protected like I once was.

I was physically attacked by a woman who didn’t even know me. Yes, my boyfriend was her former husband, but she tried to ruin me.

I could only defend myself so much. It was my word against his. There was no evidence, nor was there any proof. My word meant very little.

The absolute truth is one for an infinity of possible relative truths which lie.

Because minds do blow and hearts do break. Those are not just sayings. And wolves and roaches are not the only creatures that chew off their legs to get out of traps—human beings do that, too.

It is better to be with animalandia friends, rather than those perfectly imperfect persons.

The prenup needs to be drawn up months before the wedding, not days - it's not something you slap together and sign in the car on the way to the ceremony. A shotgun prenup might not hold up in court.

A good corroborating chain, if they fail in the last link, the whole will fall to the ground.

Those who have not found the heaven below, will fail of it above.

We're not into nation-building. We're into justice.

We are all fools in love.

Be the most wonderful expression of you that you're capable of.

I'm against very wealthy ­people attempting to or influencing elections. But as long as it's doable I'm going to do it.
