A marriage, even one that goes awry, generates claims and needs that persist like an afterglow long after the emotional fire is burned out.

There can be nothing more baffling in a human relationship than silence, the dark loom of doubts and questions unexpressed.

You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance.

You can never be too rich or too thin.

I was a long time learning that wisdom and experience are things apart; that to taste life is not to be confused with understanding what life is really all about.

I'm not a beautiful woman. I'm nothing to look at, so the only thing I can do is dress better than anyone else.

I look a hundred and weigh 110 - you won't love me when you see the wreck England has made me.
