“Go boldly and honestly through the world. Learn to love the fact that there is nobody else quite like you.”

“Marnie loved her better and more honestly than anyone else in the world, with the possible exception of her mother, who loved her intensely if not honestly.”

“Nobody asks you to love the whole world, only to be honest, ehrlich. Don't have a loud mouth. The more you love people the more they'll mix you up. A child loves, a person respects. Respect is better than love.”

“Experience, as we know, is deceptive: one judges the world through the prism of what has happened to oneself and considers this a just and reasonable approach, when in fact it is quite obviously the perfect tactic for never learning anything about anything.”

“Feel it, baby. Memorize it. Learn to love it, 'cause it's all you'll ever know. Just me. Nobody else.”

“I am just like everybody else...because there is nobody like me in the whole world.”
