“There are days when none of us can bear it, but the good comes around again. Happiness is seasonal, like anything else. Wait it out. There are people who love you. People who can help.”

“You can always push people around, but it's not a good idea. Better to let them volunteer information for reasons of their own. You get more that way.”

“You can believe anything you like.”

“People can hold out just so long and then they fold.”

“There's a certain class of people who will do you in and then remain completely mystified by the depth of your pain.”

“I know there are people who believe you should forgive and forget. For the record, I'd like to say I'm a big fan of forgiveness as long as I'm given the opportunity to get even first.”

“If love is what injures us, how can we heal?”
