many of us are done with adolescence before we are done with adolescent love.

For some it takes a lifetime to find true love, But for the lucky ones a lifetime is merely enough to share the love they've found.

the lives we lead are determined, for better and worse, by our loss experiences.

Being in love is better than being in jail, a dentist's chair, or a holding pattern over Philadelphia, but not if he doesn't love you back.

A normal adolescent is so restless and twitchy and awkward that he can mange to injure his knee--not playing soccer, not playing football--but by falling off his chair in the middle of French class.

When he is late for dinner and I know he must be either having an affair or lying dead in the street, I always hope he's dead.

Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford - but you'll take him anyway.
