In Her Usual Manner

“In her usual manner, Merkel spoke in German. 

It is worth pointing out, however, 

that before the translator had an opportunity to convert her statements to English, 

Obama gave the chancellor and the press a big smile, saying, 

‘I think what she said was good. I’m teasing.’ 

The laughter in the room drowned out 

the sounds of the cameras clicking and flashing,

 with Merkel’s giggle and smile among the loudest.”

~ Claudia Clark, Dear Barack: 
The Extraordinary Partnership of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel

Theresa

“Theresa, I know there's a part of you that believes 

you can change someone, 

but the reality is that you can't. 

You can change yourself, 

and Garrett can change himself, 

but you can't do it for him.”

~ Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle

People Generally

“People generally didn't cheat in good relationships.”

~ Emily Giffin, Something Blue

I Know

“I know I'm not going to be in your head all the time. 

But once you know me, I'll be forever in your heart. ”
