Quotes by Harrison Scott Key  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Every marriage is a partnership of two broken assholes with good intentions and varying degrees of ability to deliver.”
Harrison Scott Key, How to Stay Married: The Most Insane Love Story Ever Told

“The South is a strange place, one that can't be fit inside a movie, a place that dares you to simplify it, like a prime number, like a Bible story, like my father.”
Harrison Scott Key, The World's Largest Man

“That is marriage, in the end: two of you, being you, warring against the worst parts of you, making space for the best to grow, and learning to see that some parts of your spouse are not your favorite, and letting those parts be anyway. Hating those parts is no grounds for divorce. The only thing worth divorcing, in most cases, is the hatred itself, and your inborn desire to shape the world to your will like some kind of Marvel villain.”
Harrison Scott Key, How to Stay Married: The Most Insane Love Story Ever Told
