There are several quotes that I can get out of this.
Learnt a few things also about life.... you know realizations and all.

There is the crazy part where he writes about a woman who was waiting for her lover to return to her. She made a promise that she would stop waiting if she finishes weaving, so right before she finishes, she untangles it so that she can start all over again and have the chance to keep waiting. Irrational right? :)

There's also a part where he talks of two soldiers at war, one with a dirty face and the other with a clean face. Now which one would you think would wash his face?
Many would say the one with the dirty face. But he points out the one with a clean face would end up washing because he might think his face is also dirty when he looks at the other's face. The one with the dirty face would end up not washing his face because he wouldn't even think he has a dirty face because he would look at the other's face and see that it's clean.

Sometimes, we neglect to show people we love them, because they do so much for us. They end up filling the emptiness that we should be doing for them. He was so in love with his wife and so into his life, he failed to see that his wife needed attention.

:) I'm writing a lot for this review huh? tells that I do like this book.
Read it. It's interesting and you could get a few realizations too.

"That's how love got lost," he said. "When we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn't appear."
