A lover exists only in fragments, a dozen or so if the romance is new, a thousand if we're married to him, and out of those fragments our heart constructs an entire person. What we each create, since whatever is missing is filled by our imagination, is the person we wish him to be. The less we know him, of course, the more we love him. And that's why we always remember that first rapturous night when he was a stranger, and why this rapture returns only when he's dead.
Many people believe in eliminating gaps and eliminating poverty. They don't realize that in some sense those two things are antithetical.

Two weeks ago at the U. S. Amateur, my mom caddied, and that is kind of a different feeling, because she's your mom and you have to listen to her.

My mum said that as you age you have to smell good and be clean and don't hate anybody because that makes you older. Um I don't agree. I think that of course you have to smell good and be clean but there's much more that you have to do.
