There’s a certain class of people who will do you in and then remain completely mystified by the depth of your pain Picture Quote #1

In my opinion, there’s no condition in life that can’t be ameliorated by a dose of junk food Picture Quote #1

To many women mistake a man’s hostility for wit and his silence for depth Picture Quote #1

I write letters to my right brain all the time. They’re just little notes. And right brain, who likes to get little notes from me, will often come through within a day or two Picture Quote #1

Beware the dark pool at the bottom of our hearts. In its icy, black depths dwell strange and twisted creatures it is best not to disturb Picture Quote #1

Ghosts don’t haunt us. That’s not how it works. They’re present among us because we won’t let go of them Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Perhaps when we’re forced to forfeit what we own, we lose any sentimental associations. Perhaps pawning our valuables frees us in the same way a house fire destroys not only our worldly goods, but our attachment to what’s gone Picture Quote #1

So much of the past in encapsulated in the odds and ends. Most of us discard more information about ourselves than we ever care to preserve. Our recollection of the past is not simply distorted by our faulty perception of events remembered but skewed by those forgotten. The memory is like twin orbiting stars, one visible, one dark, the trajectory of what’s evident forever affected by the gravity of what’s concealed Picture Quote #1

It’s disconcerting to realize how little you have to say to someone who once occupied such a prominent place in your bed Picture Quote #1

You try to keep life simple but it never works, and in the end all you have left is yourself Picture Quote #1

Everything happens for a reason, but that doesn’t mean there’s a point Picture Quote #1

A woman should never, never, never be financially dependent to anyone, especially a man, because the minute you were dependent, you could be abused Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Sometimes being fooled by love is worth the price. At least you know you’re alive and capable of feeling, even if all you end up with is chest pain Picture Quote #1

I think you’d best make your peace with the past since you’ve come this far. I think you know by now that you won’t go back again Picture Quote #1

I’ve never known anyone yet who doesn’t suffer a certain restlessness when autumn rolls around... We’re all eight years old again and anything is possible Picture Quote #1

All of us are subjected to somebody else’s power at some point. So once in a while you kiss ass. So what? Either you make your peace with that early, or you end up living your life as a crank and a misfit Picture Quote #1

Train yourself to listen to that small voice that tells us what’s important and what’s not Picture Quote #1

Writing is not about making a buck, not about publishers and agents. Writing is not about feeling good. Writing is about pain, suffering, hard work, risk, and fear Picture Quote #1

I caution writers all the time to slow down and pay more attention to the work in front of them than to the end result. I don’t think you write one book and get anywhere. I think you write five books and then maybe you are finally on the right path Picture Quote #1

Age plays cruel tricks on the human face; all our repressed feelings become visible on the surface, where they harden like a mask Picture Quote #1

Grade school was perilous.... I can see how I must have worried them. I was the kind of kid who, for no apparent reason, wept piteously or threw up on myself. On an especially scary day, I sometimes did both Picture Quote #1

Personally, I don’t endorse the notion of mortality. It’s fine for other folk, but I disapprove of the concept for me and my loved ones Picture Quote #1

$Emotion doesn’t travel in a straight line. Like water, our feelings trickle down through cracks and crevices, seeking out the little pockets of neediness and neglect, the hairline fractures in our character usually hidden from public view Picture Quote #1$

Grieving is like being ill. You think the entire world revolves around you and it doesn’t Picture Quote #1

There is, apparently, some law of nature decreeing that all home construction must double in its projected cost and take four times longer than originally anticipated Picture Quote #1

When all else fails, cleaning house is the perfect antidote to most of life’s ills Picture Quote #1
