“Unlike Job, I have not cursed the day I was born; all the other days, on the contrary, I have covered with my anathemas. …”

“I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born.”

“Ah, the good ol’ days. I remember those days. That was before your time. It was before my time too, because I didn’t have a watch, and I hadn’t been born yet.”

“My father said once that if I didn't have my mother's ginger hair, I wouldn't blush or curse as easily. Which I though was unfair. I hardly ever curse or blush, even though I've had plenty of days that required both.”

“You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things. I would have to make a list, a very, very long list and make sure I hated the people on it the right amount. That I did a very proper job of hating too.”

“They placed me on a pedestal from the day I was born! What choice did I have but to be perfect!”
