We're all lost. The best chance we got is to wander this life with the people who matter.

That’s the beauty of books. We get to take what we want out of them and it can be different for everyone.

Hate no one, for hate is a starving beast who has just found its prey.

You're pissed I laid it out and you're gonna go nurse your snit

Seriously. Who needed a real lover when you had a handsome, affectionate man who adored you, put a beautiful house over your head, gave you a great job, lavished you with fabulous clothes, shoes, purses and jewelry and would never break your heart?

Wherever you are, however you got there, if it's good, you're meant to be there either because you earned it or life led you there and you were smart enough to hold on.

I can’t function around a man if I know his ability to give pleasure.
