"You don't make her happy" I said to him once when we were alone. "All happy families are alike" he replied, "but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way". He quoted one of my favorite books and left me lost for words. Shortly after that he stopped coming around, mother was heartbroken for a week and never mentioned him again.
Oooh, he sounds like a keeper. For reals though. I love Mexican guys.
ReplyDeleteThe proper quote at the proper moment, expecially if unespetted, is so powerfull...
ReplyDeleteWonder why he left so soon... very interesting
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words, great quote. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

ReplyDeleteI once left a post-it note on a woman's car window. She was sleeping with my dad and neither would come out of the bedroom when I caught them in the act. I think she was scared of me.

ReplyDeletewatched a french movie called Le hérisson (Hedgehog) tonight. this quote was spoken by the new elegant Japanese neighbor (in response to the janitor speaking about happy families).
Amusing.
