A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once, but a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over.

The blood of a redheaded woman is three degrees cooler than the blood of a normal woman. This has been established by medical studies.

I remind myself that no one day of writing matters all that much. A story is built somewhat like a stalactite - one little drip of mud and grit at a time.

Men, she thought, were one of the world's few sure comforts, like a fire on a cold October night, like cocoa, like broken-in-slippers. Their clumsy affections, their bristly faces, and their willingness to do what needed to be done - cook an omelette, change lightbulbs, make with hugging - sometimes almost made being a woman fun.
