"Beauty is but skin deep, ugly to the bone. And when beauty fades away, ugly claims its own."
"Identity is not inherent. It is shaped by circumstance and sensitivity and resistance to self-pity."
"If the Best is yet to come, the Present will blend with it Beautifully."
"Because if you don't know someone all that well, you react to their surface qualities, the superficial stereotypes-they throw off like sparks. But once you fight through the sparks and get to the person, you find just that, a person, a big jumble of likes, dislikes, fears, and desires."
"I'm a writer. I don't cook and I don't clean."
