“Feelings aren’t sensible.always,” her mother said gently. “Feelings aren’t sensible.Sometimes you fall in love with people who don’t makesense. And the ones who do make sense turn out to bethe wrong ones”

“Feelings aren't sensible. Sometimes you fall in love with people who don't make sense. And the ones who do make sense turn out to be the wrong ones.”

“.. that terrible feeling that you're not good enough to be loved by the people you love most, and eventually by anyone else.”

“People are so obsessed with that these days. As long as you're healthy, what difference do a few pounds make? Crazy diets. Thirteen-year-old girls on magazine covers who wind up in hospitals because they're so anorexic. Real women don't look like that. And who wants them to? No one wants a woman who looks sick or like she;s been from a refugee camp.”

“People do strange things sometimes, when they feel hopeless.”

“When you can bring yourself to write about it one day, you will find it all less painful. It is a catharsis of sorts, but the process can be brutal. Don’t do it until you’re ready.”

“Somehow you drift along on the river, and one dayyou wake up and you’re someplace you don’t want tobe, with someone you realize you don’t know.”
