Never get involved with someone who wants to change you

The trouble with children is that they're not returnable.

I simply haven't the nerve to imagine a being, a force, a cause which keeps the planets revolving in their orbits and then suddenly stops in order to give me a bicycle with three speeds.

I recommend limiting one's involvement in other people's lives to a pleasantly scant minimum.

When I was young, I don't know how, I spent all my time in the presence of married women telling me their troubles. And when I said 'Why did you marry?' they said, 'Oh I married to get away from home.' And when I said, 'And why don't you leave him?' they gave the saddest answer in the world: they said, 'Where would I go?' So they stayed with men they didn't like because they had nowhere to go.

Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are.

To live in the past is to miss today's opportunities and tomorrow's blessings.
