“No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.”
“Does that help? Probably not, unless you are sane enough to believe that the truth about anyone is disappointing, the truth about me especially so.”
“There seemed to be that same fierce quest after truth, the same unafraid penetration, the same feeling that character is beauty, no matter how sordid it may appear.”
“One is not likely to learn much about human beings, by way of psychoanalysis or otherwise, if one adheres unwaveringly to a theory, no matter how persuasive or sophisticated the latter and no matter how attractive the illusion of definitive or final truth may be.”
“Then you came along and helped me believe in myself again.”
