Quotes by Jennifer Finney Boylan

Its funny how you can know a person, think of him as your closest friend, and still never gain access to the secret chambers in his heart.

I wondered ...if meeting people with creativity and passion when you were at an impressionable enough age actually kind of ruined you for life among normal people. For a long time, Id searched the world, thinking I could start up new friendships like the ones Id had before. But I never met people like that again.

How much could the person you love change, and still remain the same person to whom youd made your promise? We dont expect our lovers to remain the same over the course of a long relationship. In fact, if youre married at sixty-five to the same person you married when you were twenty, your marriage has probably failed. But there are changes, over time, that spell doom for a marriage, although exactly what these are, and to what degree, varies from couple to couple. For some people, vast changes over time make no difference to the fundamental sense of devotion one soul has for another. But for others, relatively small changes can push things to the breaking point: gaining or losing weight, gaining or losing faith, gaining or losing wealth. How does any relationship survive in the end, when change is the only constant?

...I really did choose to be Jim every single day, but that once I put my sword down I havent chosen Jenny at all; I simply wake up and here I am.
