Life has no plot. It is by far more interesting than anything you can say about it.

Because I loved myself, I was loved.

There are no atheists on turbulent airplanes.

I look forward and see myself look back.

In loving life you love what can't survive.

There is no loneliness like the loneliness of a dead marriage.

Really true intimacy is rare and it depends on other things besides sex.

Fear is a sign-usually a sign that I'm doing something right.

The best slave does not need to be beaten. She beats herself.

The dilemma is that if one does not risk anything one risks even more.

Unhappiness is our element. We come to believe we can't function without it.

Betrayal betrays the betrayer.

Silence is the bluntest of blunt instruments.

Photographs are the most curious indicators of reality.

Conflict is the soul of literature.

Jealousy is all the fun you think they had.

Courage is the only Magic worth having.

Always do the things you fear the most. Courage is an acquired taste, like caviar.

As long as I'm facing the right direction, it doesn't matter the size of my steps.
