“Only way to live here is day by day, same as anywhere.”

“People don't live in New Orleans because it is easy. They live here because they are incapable of living anywhere else in the just same way.”

“Anything one does every day is important and imposing and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.”

“These days I must take the world in small and carefully measured doses. It is a sort of homeopathic cure I am undergoing, though I am not certain what this cure is meant to mend. Perhaps I am learning to live amongst the living again. Practising, I mean. But no, that is not it. Being here is just a way of not being anywhere.”

“There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. There's only us. There's only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road. No other way. No day but today.I can't control my destiny. I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be.There's only now, there's only here. Give into love, or live in fear. No other course, no other way.NO DAY but TODAY”

“Don't you know girls have to fool people every day of their lives if they want to get anywhere?”
