“Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really.”

“The only thing you have to know is that we're all in it together.”

“Every story is a love story.”

“A joke is a very serious thing.”

“You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.”

“The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, love, do not require coupons.”

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.”

“The great thing about falling apart is that you can put yourself back together any way you want.”

“Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.”

“Most of the time, we're loved for what we can do rather than for who we are.”

“The real world is not easy to live in. It is rough; it is slippery. Without the most clear-eyed adjustments we fall and get crushed.”

“We fall in love with one version of a person, and we expect them to stay that way, but they never do.”

“The wonderful thing about falling in love is that you learn everything about that person, and so quickly.”

“What happens when you have a child? You're a parent. But when your parent dies, what are you? A parentless child. There's no name for it.”

“Life is a spell. It's a mystery. But you have to believe in the spell.”
