It is a feeling at once stimulating and flat, to know that someone you — Mignon McLaughlin

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

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

"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."

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