You're too young to decide to live forever.

There's something in life that's a curtain, and I keep trying to raise it.

To me success means effectiveness in the world, that I am able to carry my ideas and values into the world--that I am able to change it in positive ways.

Adultery is extravagance.

To shut the door at the end of the workday, which does not spill over into evening. To throw away books after reading them so theydon't have to be dusted. To go through boxes on New Year's Eve and throw out half of what is inside. Sometimes for extravagance to pick a bunch of flowers for the one table. Other women besides me must have this daydream about a carefree life.

We're all under the same sky and walk the same earth; we're alive together during the same moment.

And I had to get out of hating range.
