The reason you get married is to be together, not to be separated.

I never believed marriage was a lasting institution . . . I thought that to be married for five years was to be married forever.

I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered. I don't regret it. You make choices. If you want a good marriage, you must pay attention to that. If you want to be independent, go ahead. You can't have it all.

If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?

Isn't hope an incredible, a wonderfully demented thing?

I always brought up my children not to believe in Mothers Day gifts, and now I regret it.

I would hate now to be married. It does occur to me on occasion that, if I fall and hit my head, there will be no one to make the phone call. But who wants to think about that disaster, I'd prefer not to.
