It’s tempting to wish for the perfect boss, the perfect parent, or the perfect outfit. But maybe the best any of us can do is not to quit, play the hand we’ve been dealt, and accessorize what we’ve got.

For me, having it all is being paid to write novels.

There's a brief moment when you first wake up, where you have no memories. A blissful blank slate, a happy emptiness.

The heart wants what the heart wants

You don't want to peak in high school. If you do, the rest of your life is a disaster.

I don't go to parties to meet men. I go to parties to stand in a corner and watch people.

Sometimes I think all the trouble in the world is caused by men. If there were no men, women would always be happy. ~Carrie
