The creative genius begins in the idle moment, dreaming up the impossible, and later making it come true.

Love, how often that word came up in books over and over again. If you had wealth and health, and beauty and talent...you had nothing if you didn't have love. Love changed all that was ordinary into something giddy, powerful, drunken, enchanted.

I saw myself dancing alone, always alone.

love, is an unnatural attachment to another living thing. it's the root cause of most personal problems people have.

You can trust a few some of the time, and most none of the time. Feel lucky if you have even one to trust all of the time.

You are the most dangerous kind of female the world can ever know. You carry the seeds for your own destruction and the destruction of everyone who loves you. And a great many will love you for your beautiful face for your seductive body; but you will fail them all because you will believe they all fail you first. You are an idealist of the worst kind - the romantic idealist. Born to destroy and self destruct.

Tragedy had sent me headlong into reality. All the things I had seen before now looked different, even nature.
