I hate jealousy. At least it's its own punishment; it makes me feel like hell.

Topics... are what people talk about when they don't know each other well. Topics... are what men talk about.

Little things. The thought of losing them makes them unbearably dear ... I only think of the sweetness. Simple things. The quarter moon, the taste of an orange. The smell of the pages of a new book.

I often think my life would be a lot easier if I were a mute.

... laughter is cathartic and cleansing, that it's good for the body and the soul, and when it's real it's better than sex.

Misery alternates with euphoria.

I love the slow, warming sensation of my body going numb when I drink.
