I am as I am" is another way of saying "I can do without your love. — Mignon McLaughlin

"No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved."

"I do not trust those who are above name-dropping. The suppression of small vices always exacts too high a toll."

"We all become great explorers during our first few days in a new city, or a new love affair."

"Even cowards can endure hardship; only the brave can endure suspense."

"When we have been humiliated by someone we love, it takes all our strength to pretend to recover from it."

"The neurotic has perfect vision in one eye, but he cannot remember which."
