“You are very amiable, no doubt, but you would be charming if you would only depart.”

“You used to give yourself over to endless sessions of doubt. You would claim to be an expert on the subject. But doubting would tire you so much that you would end up doubting doubt itself. I saw you one day at the end of an afternoon of solitary speculation. You were unmoving and petrified. Running several kilometers in a deep forest full of ravines and pitfalls would have exhausted you less.”

“I doubt if I have made the best use of all my calamities. Soft, amiable natures they would have refined to saintliness; of strong, evil spirits they would have made demons; as for me, I have only been a woe-struck and selfish woman.”

“It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.”

“If you tried to doubt everything you would not get as far as doubting anything. The game of doubting itself presupposes certainty.”

“...no one has ever doubted you would die for those you love ... the question then becomes would you live?”
