“If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?”

“Sometimes being a good friend means saying nothing.”

“Sometimes being a good mother gets in the way of being a good person.”

“Sometimes one feels rage and despair that one should know so little the people one loves. one is heartbroken at the impossibility of understanding them, of getting right down into their hearts . sometimes, accidentally or under the influence of some emotion, one gets a glimpse of some emotion , one gets a glimpse of those inner selves , and one despairs how ignorant one is of that inner self and how far away one is from it.”

“Inside of every being there is a constant war being raged. The part that tell us to do what is right and what is decent and the part of us that is self-serving. The part that wants what it wants regardless of who is hurt getting it.”

“A good friend is one of the hardest things to keep in this life. Don't forget that sometimes you have to work at it.”
