Time waits for no ovary.

I can DO ANYTHING I want, but I can't DO EVERYTHING I want.

If I pretend to myself that I'm different from the way I truly am, I'm going to make choices that won't make me happy.

Now that I've relinquished my fantasies of all the people I wish I could be, and stopped feeling guilty about not going to the opera or pretending that I want to attend a foreign policy lecture, I have more time for the things that I truly enjoy.

One of the great joys of falling in love is the feeling that the most extraordinary person in the entire world has chosen you.

One of the things that surprised me the most is how often we assume that because something's fun for someone else, it makes somebody else happy, it will make us happy.

Reading makes me want to write my own books, and just trying to understand what I see in the world around me makes me want to figure things out.
