I don't care about truth. I want some happiness.

When you're older you'll know what people who love suffer. The agony. It's better to be cold and young than to love. It's happened to me before but never like this - so accidental - just when everything was going well.

I love New York on summer afternoons when everyone's away. There's something very sensuous about it - overripe, as if all sorts of funny fruits were going to fall into your hands.

Once I thought that Lake Forest was the most glamorous place in the world. Maybe it was.

The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.

I am tired of knowing nothing and being reminded of it all the time.

That was always my experience-a poor boy in a rich town; a poor boy in a rich boy's school; a poor boy in a rich man's club at Princeton .... However, I have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works.
