Time will mellow it, make it a moment for laughter. But now it was not funny, now I did not laugh. It was not the future, it was the present. It was too vivid and too real.

Will you look into my eyes and tell me that you love me now?

Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.

If you think I'm one of the people who try to be funny at breakfast you're wrong. I'm invariably illtempered in the early morning.

…you guessed that somewhere, in heaven knew what country and what guise, there was someone who was part of your body and your brain, and that without him you were lost, a straw blown by the wind.

I wish I was a woman of about thirty-six dressed in black satin with a string of pearls.

How simple life becomes when things like mirrors are forgotten.
