Reading this book called The White Woman on the Green Bicycle, I came across this beautiful dialogue and had to share.
It begins with a daughter asking her father the secret to staying married for a long time:
"Why did you marry mum?"
"Because she was a dish."
"The world is full of beautiful women. Why her?"
"She was for me."
"What do you mean?"
"Your mother filled up the frame. I couldnt see anyone else but her, no one around her or past her."
"Did that ever wear off?"
"No, it got worse."
"How?"
"Well, then love comes. You can fancy lots of other people. But the heart is small and fussy: it knows exactly who it wants. You only have room in it to love one or two people in a lifetime."
