- Love lost by one moment’s explicit unfairness can’t be won back by trying to justify it.
- Love-relationships need a certain minimum of proximity to keep them going.
- If the ending is messy, one doesn’t remember anything good about any of it.
- Even to be impaled by a happy fate makes you jerk against the knowledge of inevitability, of final commitment.
- It's funny how, when you really want to say something bitchy and cutting to someone who's been bitchy to you, you can't think of anything till afterwards. When there's no real call for it, you come suddenly out with a piece of 9-carat bitchery that shakes even you.
- Innocence is ignorance.
- The only way we women can get through our lives honourably is with courage and resignation.
- There’s nothing, of course, more damaging and hurtful to the psyche than that—searching grimly for things to despise and revile in a person you once loved. You may destroy the beloved image but at the same time you destroy part of the basis of your self-respect, plus a whole vital chunk out of your past. Because, if he is hateful now, what aberration once caused you to waste so much love on him?
- Decide what's important, what's worth fighting for. Don't drift, ever. Decide then act. If you fail well at least you tried.
- It’s as if the future threw back a shadow—a great black shadow of years of loneliness, and it terrifies me so much that I keep lighting little futile lights to try to drive the shadow away.
