I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.

—Rachel Van Dyken in Toxic

Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.

He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
—Winston Churchill
Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
—Honoré de Balzac
