God is a God of Lovingkindness.

I think it is a good thing to have woman friends at every stage of life. We confide in each other, we support each other, we understand each other most of the time. Of course, sometimes we are competitive or angry or distant, too. But I do think it is important not to let the main friendships slip away in the sweep of the days.

Some people who think they are in unhappy marriages are just in unhappy bodies.

Self-pity is never useful. It tends to distort like a fun-house mirror.

Sometimes what we call love is just a settling of old scores, or a seeking of forbidden pain, or a circuitous path to the kingdom of cruelty, or she may simply have confused lack of capital with heroism while searching for rescue without knowing from what.

Reader, you forget that economics precedes religion; worship grew out of eating, not the other way around.

Friendship needs both confidences and confidence in the other's outstretched hand.
