And the wicked thing is, that when we're really upset, we always take it out on the people who are closest and whom we love the most.

I'm getting too elderly to travel the length of the country for a free hangover.

Life is so extraordinary. Wonderful surprises are just around the most unexpected corners.

Grief was like a terrible burden, but at least you could lay it down by the side of the road and walk away from it. Antonia had come only a few paces, but already she could turn and look back and not weep. It wasn't anything to do with forgetting. It was just accepting. Nothing was ever so bad once you had accepted it.

There's a war on. We don't know how anything's going to end. We just have to grasp each fleeting moment of joy as it whizzes by.

It was good and nothing good is ever lost.
