“لماذا نحب كاتباً بالذات؟
لا لأنّه يُبهرنا بتفوقه علينا، بل لأنّه يُدهشنا بتشابهه معنا. لأنه يبوح لنا بخطاياه ومخاوفه وأسراره، التي ليست سوى أسرارنا. والتي لانملك شجاعة الاعتراف بها، حتى لهذا الكاتب نفسه.”

“I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”

“I can forgive and forget... it is so much less exhausting. You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things”
