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

• There is always some specific moment when we become aware that our youth is gone but, years after, we know it was much later.
• A woman telling her true age is like a buyer confiding his final price to an Armenian rug dealer.
• A car is useless in New York, essential everywhere else. The same with good manners.
• It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.
• Courage can't see around corners but goes around them anyway.
• The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.
• It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.
• It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.
• Most sermons sound to me like commercials - but I can't make out whether God is the Sponsor or the Product.
• When suffering comes, we yearn for some sign from God, forgetting we have just had one.
