"You only understand the one you love. If you have a dog that barks, jumps and bites, you live happily with it - if you love it. You know what he's like: barking, jumping, biting - you love him with that. It's not good that it's like this - you still love it. But if you have a husband who doesn't bark, jump and bite, but sometimes covers the carpet with ashes, you're already on the ceiling and you say: I can't live with you! Why? Because you don't love me. When you love someone, you accept them for who they are. It would be better if it were different, but it's not such a big deal anyway.

""Csak azt érted meg, akit szeretsz. Ha van egy ugatós, ugrálós és harapós kutyád, vidáman élsz vele - ha szereted. Tudod, hogy ilyen: ugatós, ugrálós, harapós - ezzel együtt szereted. Nem jó, hogy ilyen - mégis szereted. De ha van egy férjed, aki nem ugatós, nem ugrálós és harapós, de néha lehamuzza a szőnyeget, máris a plafonon vagy, s azt mondod: nem lehet élni veled! Miért? Mert nem szereted. Ha szeretsz valakit, elfogadod, hogy olyan, amilyen. Jobb lenne, ha más lenne, de így sem olyan nagy baj."
