A bore: one who knows as well as you do what he is going to say next.

The hardest-learned lesson: that people have only their kind of love to give, not our kind.

When women feel they have learned to forgive their mothers - and men, their fathers - all it usually means is that they've decided to allow themselves the same kind of behavior.

Desire creates havoc when it is the only thing between two people, or when it is what's missing.

The way the neurotic sees it: bars on his door mean that he's locked in; bars on your door mean that he's locked out.

Women polish the silver and water the plants and wait to be really needed.

The neurotic lies awake at night, composing letters to those he hates. He seldom thinks of dropping a line to those he loves.
