• "Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces."
• "...Him that I love, I wish to be free--even from me."
• "I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable."
• "Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone, his own burdens, his own way."
• "Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after."
