I did not survive everything. No one ever does. Little pieces of you - sometimes the best of you - get lost in a little lie here, a little joke there. And of course, the aftereffect is the tiny sob - unseen, unheard, deeply felt.

Wars are started by the truth. Peace is proclaimed with lies.

You do know when people say 'chic,' they mean thin.

when you speak of other people's marriages, you are, of course, saying something about your own.

There can be no great love without exclusivity.

Hate is funny. Love isn't. Love can kill you. Hate can keep you alive.

Looking out of a hospital window is different from looking out of any other. Somehow you do not see outside.
