Quote by Jim Butcher
The married thing. Sometimes I look at it and feel like someone from a Dickens novel, standing outside in the cold and staring in at Christmas dinner. Relationships hadn't ever really worked for me. I think it's had something to do with all the demons, ghosts, and human sacrifice.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker describes their perspective on marriage and relationships. They feel detached, like a literary character observing a festive scene from a distance. The speaker reflects on their past experiences, suggesting that their inability to maintain successful relationships might stem from personal struggles and dark aspects of their past, metaphorically represented by "demons, ghosts, and human sacrifice." This quote implies a sense of isolation and a belief that their difficulties in forming meaningful connections may be rooted in their past experiences and personal challenges.
