You're the only person I've ever met who can stand a bookstore as long as I can.

Nobody likes children, your mother assured you. That doesn't mean you don't have them.

Success, after all, loves a witness, but failure can't exist without one.

When you're the ones in the life raft and you have four or five women in the life raft who put it together, by the end of it your nerves are blown. The people you're going to attack are the people who are helping you, who you are holding it together with.

The half-life of love is forever.

For a long time, I let my mother say what she wanted about me, and what was worse, for a long time I believed her.

I always wanted to read. I always thought I was going to be a historian. I would go to school and study history and then end up in law school, once, I ran out of loot trying to be a history high school teacher. But my dream was always to place myself in a situation where I was always surrounded by books.
