“Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.”

“I would tell them that when you look at a person, you never know what the're hiding.”

“Women know things that men will never know. We keep the best secrets. We tell the best stories.”

“Let me tell you what the problem is, Brik. Even if you knew what you want to know, you would still know nothing. You ask questions, you want to know more, but no matter how much more I tell you, you will never know anything. That's the problem.”

“Sometimes you see someone doing something that does not fit at all with your idea of that person. You realise that, a lot of the time, you don't really know people, even one of your best friends.Instead, you get to know a little bit about that person - the little things they want to reveal, or inadvertently reveal - and then you make up a whole lot of rubbish that's your idea of the person.”

“The best books... are those that tell you what you know already.”
