I cupped his shoulder lightly, afraid he might cry. He was a humorist and everyone knew the funny writers were the most serious under their skins.

| “You give but little when you give of your possessions. | |||
| It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” | |||
| -Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)
|
|||
| Not everyone believed in marriage then. To many was to say that you believed in the future and in the past, too–that history and tradition and hope could stay knit together to young men and your faith, too. There was only today to throw yourself into without thinking about tomorrow, let alone forever. To keep you from thinking, there was liquor, an ocean’s worth at least, all the usual vices and plenty of rope to hang yourself with. But some of us, a very few in the end, bet on marriage against the odds. And though I didn’t feel holy, exactly, I did feel that what we had was rare and true–and that we were safe in the marriage we had built and were building every day. The Paris Wife, by Paula McLain | |||

| From The Paris Wife: This was the 1920s and they were playing recordings and dancing. “There was a song from that time by Nora Bayes called ‘Make Believe,’ which might have been the most lilting and persuasive treatice on self-delusion I’ve ever heard. Nora Bayes was beautiful, and she sang with a trembling voice that told you she knew things about love. When she advised you to throw off all the old pain and worry and heartache and smile–well, you believed she’d done this herself. It wasn’t a suggestion but a prescription. ‘Make believe you are glad when you’re sorry. Sunshine will follow the rain.’ “ Paula McLain
