I thought I was dreaming. It was the most amazing moment of my entire life. Not only is Bill the love of my life, but he's also my best friend. I couldn't believe my dream guy was asking me to marry him!

Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.

If you take a lie and allow your desire for the truth, you'll end up with some truth - not fact, but something that gets you closer to the truth. That's what we want. When we go to a play, we need to be assured that the experience we're having.

Denis Johnson

Bethenny Frankel

We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to go there.... We need the possibility of escape as surely as we need hope.

Edward Abbey

If a woman hasn't got a tiny streak of a harlot in her, she's a dry stick as a rule.
