I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.

It would be so great to have someone my own age to talk to, even if it was just about books.

I wrote poetry, journals, and, especially, plays for the neighborhood kids to perform. I had an ordinary, happy childhood. Nothing much was going on, but I had fun.

You shouldn't miss someone who don't miss you, right?

In stories like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, they always say the heroine is 'as good as she is beautiful.' I wondered if people just wanted that to be true, wanted the beautiful to be good. I wondered if they wanted the ugly to be bad because then they wouldn't have to feel bad for them.

Every girl pretends she is a princess at one point, no matter how little her life is like that.

That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.
