Quote

Very few people mate for life with the people they fall for at twelve. Doesn't mean is isn't real, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, doesn't mean it doesn't matter, but basically, we're talking a practice swing in the big game of love.

Which, come to think of it, was probably why there weren't any women gamblers. Living with men was enough of a gamble.
