No one is more conventional than a woman who is falling out of love.

Life has confirmed for me the thoughts and impressions I had when I was 18, as if it was all intuition.

I've read Proust and Stendhal. That keeps you in your place.

The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.

I've often found myself preferring second-rate people to supposedly superior people, simply and solely because of their uncontrollable tendency to bang themselves against the sides of life's vast lampshade like fireflies or moths.

It amused me to think that one can tell the truth when one is drunk and nobody will believe it.

No one talks about money more than people who have too much of it.
