Love and kindness go hand in hand.
Marian Keyes
Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted make-up.
Marian Keyes
It's not like you take the right turning and you get everlasting happiness and you take the wrong one and your life's a disaster. In real life it's often impossible to tell which decision is the one you should make because what you stand to gain and what you stand to lose are sometimes-often-neck and neck.
Marian Keyes
