People in California seem to age at a different rate than the rest of the country. Maybe it's the passion for diet and exercise, maybe the popularity of cosmetic surgery. Or maybe we're afflicted with such a horror of aging that we've halted the process psychically.

Grieving is like being ill. You think the entire world revolves around you and it doesn't.

You never know which people will affect your life.

You can't make anyone love you and you can't stop anyone from dying.

Train yourself to listen to that small voice that tells us what's important and what's not.

Pay enough for anything and it passes for taste.

Personally, I'd rather grow old alone than in the company of anyone I've met so far. I don't experience myself as lonely, incomplete, or unfulfilled, but I don't talk about that much. It seems to piss people off--especially men. (Kinsey Millhone)
