"It's all very well to tell us to forgive our enemies; our enemies can never hurt us very much. But oh, what about forgiving our friends?"
"People can be lovers and enemies at the same time, you know."
"Love itself draws on a woman nearly all the bad luck in the world"
"Yes, and because we grow old we become more and more the stuff our forbears put into us. I can feel his savagery strengthen in me. We think we are so individual and so misunderstood when we are young; but the nature our strain of blood carries is inside there, waiting, like our skeleton."
― Willa Cather, My Mortal Enemy
