“We could never make each other happy all the time; no one has that kind of power. But if, whenever one of us was hurt, the other’s first instinct was to understand the pain rather than defend themselves, so much could change.”
“When we look back on our lives one day, I would rather remember how we treated each other in difficult times than which palace we lived in or how wealthy we became. What stays in the heart is not what two people possessed together, but how they lived together.”
