What failure ofimagination had caused me to forget that life was full of other possiblities, including the possibility that eventually I would fall in love again?

Maybe young women don't wonder whether they can have it all any longer, but in case any of you are wondering, of course you can have it all. It will be a little messy, but embrace the mess. It will be complicated, but rejoice in the complications. It will not be anything like what you think it will be like, but surprises are good for you. And don't be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I've had four careers and three husbands.

Some people pretend to like capers, but the truth is that any dish that tastes good with capers in it tastes even better with capers not in it.

I'm very much a believer in knowing what it is that you love doing so you can do a great deal of it.

People have only one way to be.

If your husband is cheating on you with a carhop, get Meryl Streep to play you. You'll feel much better.

Never marry a man you wouldn't want to be divorced from.
