If you have but one friend, make sure you choose her well.

If, in our world, there is any chance of becoming the person you haven't yet become...will I know how to seize that chance, turn my life into a garden that will be completely different from my forebears'?

..if you dread tomorrow, it's because you don't know how to build the present, you tell yourself you can deal with it tomorrow, and it's a lost cause anyway because tomorrow always ends up becoming today, don't you see?

Do you know that it is in your company that I have had my finest thoughts?

When someone that you love dies..it's like fireworks suddenly burning out in the sky and everything going black.

Don't let the cat out or the concierge in: this is the first principle of socialist ladies.

We can be friends. We can be anything we want to be.
