Character: Marcelo Cuartero

- I, Yes, fell in love.
Marcelo looked me in the eyes, as if hoping to find something to refute my words, but found none. Incredulously he raised his bushy eyebrows, which gave his face a comical expression, and exclaimed:
- Yes well you, Thomas!
- You think this is weird?
- No, not strange... Well, I told you, - he muttered. - First of all, I think it is the greatest folly. If you have a little problem!..

- ...habit destroys everything, including people. And after four years of marriage...
After five, I said.
- After five years of marriage, everything becomes a habit. Habit leaves no place for novelty, and without novelty there is no charm, no love. It's true. But there is more.
- For example?
- Well, I don't know, something more important, ' he replied impatiently. - A sense of partnership, I believe, affection.

People talk a lot about how important it is to preserve the past but to me personally it seems more important to preserve the present.

...when I say "this moment is the present", as it automatically turns to the past...

...I believe that you should celebrate, right? It's not every day a person is able to fall in love.

The first night is always amazing. I already told you. The problem in those that follow it

Nothing ever remains the same. And least of all in marriage.

No abulia, no hesitation, no sacrifice. If more people read Dumas, life would be very different.

...it is impossible to know the truth about someone, not knowing his parents. We note in passing that this rule applies in literature and in life.
