“Everything in life in nonsense. It's just a question of persepctive”

“I tried to swallow his nonsense without choking.”

“You women listen more to your heart and less to all the nonsense. That's why you live longer.”

“It might have been that notion, or just chance, or its more flamboyant relative, destiny.”

“It's up to you how you waste your time and money. I'm staying here to read: life's too short.”

“It's possible, and I stress possible, that such a moment may never come: you may not fall in love, you may not be able to or you may not wish to give your whole life to anyone, and, like me, you may turn forty-five one day and realize that you're no longer young and you have never found a choir of cupids with lyres or a bed of white roses leading to the altar. The only revenge left for you then will be to steal from life the pleasure of firm and passionate flesh - a pleasure that evaporates faster than good intentions and is the nearest thing to heaven you will find in this stinking world where everything decays, beginning with beauty and ending with memory.”

“Destiny is usually just around the corner. Like a thief, a hooker, or a lottery vendor: its three most common personifications. But what destiny does not do is home visits. You have to go for it.”
