Fashion is a form of ugliness so vulgar we have to change it every six months.

Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.

It's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.

When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you'd like them to be.

The interesting thing is why we're so desperate for this anesthetic against loneliness.

I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.

Silence is a source of great strength.

The truth is like poetry-- and most people fucking hate poetry.

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.

Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own.

Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

If I died tomorrow, I couldn't complain. It's been good.

Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
