'In most couples there is the person who wins and the person who
doesn’t. The winner isn’t necessarily stronger or smarter or righter.
The winner is the person who won’t give up, and the non-winner (“loser”
is not the correct word for the person who does not win), at a certain
point, realizes the battle is a silly one, and the spoils are not worth
the extended warfare.'
-- Heidi Julavits, The Folded Clock
