Catherine: I have carried a romantic idea of people all my life. Perhaps too romantic. That has changed quite a bit recently. I saw a great love as a kind of perfect love. Maybe it's not. Maybe a great love, like a great country or a great leader even... is a flawed one. Maybe what makes it great is its embrace of our failings, our scars... our f**ked-upedness... as long as we are questing always for better... knowing that we will bring ourselves down as often as we set ourselves free. Maybe a great marriage is simply the ability to hold all that in one tender, yearning heart.
