"I'm sad that this is the kind of person I am. I am a person who will stay in a relationship for three years because I know that this relationship will never hurt me. I will park my love here because here I will never experience great joy, but more important, I will never be devastated. the dissolving of this won't be painful at all. it will just be a formality. a formal ending to something that barely or never existed." - Girls' Poker Night by Jill A. Davis

"Hiding is what I'm all about. He wants to strip that away. I hate it that I can't have a crisis that isn't accompanied by a sales pitch for more sessions. But I'm simultaneously flattered that my situation is so dire that he wants to see me more often." - Ask Again Later by Jill A. Davis

"when I'm really serious about making this love thing work, I start bargaining. maybe we all do. I gather up my vices -- sugar, buying houseplants and then never watering them, cynicism -- and promise to abstain from all three in exchange for a new, more optimistic prospective. a life that works." - Girls' Poker Night by Jill A.
