What did I get from Simon? An education - the thing my parents always wanted me to have.

I just think I'm fairly aggressive.

I don't want to give a cool appraisal of Jeremy Irons. I just want to boil him in oil.

But perhaps this is what goes wrong with long marriages--you state your opinions, your likes and dislikes, at the beginning and then forget to mention when they change (135).

I learned not to trust people I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do I learned to suspect that anyone and everyone is capable of 'living a lie'. I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable.
