“Love does not terrify me. But the going away of it does.”

Promise me one thing: don’t take me home until I’m drunk – very drunk indeed.

I don’t believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, then move outwards, one small step at a time.

As much as I loved the art and discipline of the dance, it didn’t love me!

Fewer things are lovelier to me than a full-blown rose when it opens up its heart.

Paris is always a good idea.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself.

I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

To have beautiful lips, say beautiful things. To have beautiful eyes, look at people and see the good in them.

You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.

There is a shade of red for every woman.

Some people dream of having a big swimming pool. With me, it’s closets.

True friends are families which you can select.

I’d never worry about age if I knew I could go on being loved and have the possibility to love.

Thank you Jesus you are a stone mover. And you can move any stone away.

A hug is like a boomerang – you get it back right away.

We should get away somewhere.

We live in a society where I am a crazy bitch for going to any lengths to keep you away from me.

She has a heart of silk, everyone she loves slips away.

Two showers a day and I’m still a thousand more from washing you away.

We broke away from each other like clouds after a storm. But the sun never reappeared for me and I don’t know what to do with all this rain.

May God keep you away from the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger, and the revenge of the Afghans.
