Reason is no match for desire: when desire is purely and powerfully felt, it becomes a kind of reason of its own Picture Quote #1

Never underestimate how extraordinarily difficult it is to understand a situation from another person’s point of view Picture Quote #1

What’s the likelihood? That the one girl who makes my heart race is the one girl who wants me in return? That the accident of my attraction coincides with the accident of hers? Picture Quote #1

I have observed that male writers tend to get asked what they think and women what they feel. In my experience, and that of a lot of other women writers, all of the questions coming at them from interviewers tend to be about how lucky they are to be where they are – about luck and identity and how the idea struck them. The interviews much more seldom engage with the woman as a serious thinker, a philosopher, as a person with preoccupations that are going to sustain them for their lifetime Picture Quote #1

The way that I see astrology is as a repository of thought and psychology. A system we’ve created as a culture as way to make things mean things Picture Quote #1

To experience sublime natural beauty is to confront the total inadequacy of language to describe what you see. Words cannot convey the scale of a view that is so stunning it is felt Picture Quote #1

I see disappointment as something small and aggregate rather than something unified or great. With a little effort, every failure can be turned into something good Picture Quote #1
