Insane people are always sure they're just fine. It's only the sane people who are willing to admit they're crazy.

I am not a new journalist, whatever that is. I just sit here at the typewriter and bang away at the old forms.

Believe me, if I looked good, it's not an accident.

It's always hard to remember love - years pass and you say to yourself, was I really in love or was I just kidding myself? Was I really in love or was I just pretending he was the man of my dreams? Was I really in love or was I just desperate?

You enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets.
