• If I go into a relationship with an artist, which at most is going to last five years, we have a 100-page contract covering every eventuality. Whereas with marriage you go into it with no contract, with laws that date back hundreds of years, and I don't think that's right.

• If we insist that public life be reserved for those whose personal history is pristine, we are not going to get paragons of virtue running our affairs.

But there was no violence where I lived, and if there was hate, it was either concealed from me or I just didn't recognize it.
