“The nice thing about being a celebrity is that if you bore people they think it's their fault.”

“We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.”

“It's one of the advantages of being a woman. I get to do all sorts of unfair things, and you have to accept them because you're too polite not to.--Polgara”

“People are always trying to tell you how they feel. Some of them say it outright, and some of them, they tell you with their actions. And you have to listen.
