“…he realized that the same thing that made women initially attractive to him--their need to be taken care of--was the very thing that eventually signaled he end of the relationship.

I'm not special at all, Dawson, and you need to know that. You have to understand that I'm just…ordinary.”

“Love could be set in motion quickly, but true love needed time to grow into something strong and enduring.
