So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around?

It's so interesting that we think we know the rules to this game, this total hypothetical game called, "Would you," "If you had it to do over." It's not out there.

Whenever someone says the words 'Our friendship is more important than this,' watch out, because it almost never is.

Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women.
