There must be love, and understanding, to betray. Most men haven't the wit or the honor for betrayal: not to know it when they see it; not the stomach to apprehend it as they do it. Most men, blind and dumb in their self-centeredness, don't betray: they merely disappoint. -- Janet Morris

The practical formula: Go where the pain is. -- Peter Koestenbaum

Or maybe they don't have to be sitting, they can be walking. -- Alan Lightman
