Quotes
She had always been a bit of a snob. But now it was about the right things.
It was a beautiful, complicated, and unforgiving world.
The point was to see life as it is, to love it, and to do what you can with it.
It was the rare person who was unguarded and who lived for a moment simply because she felt it was right.

She was out there, and her life was unfolding, and it was the only life she had.
She thought that was the essence of friendship, giving without being asked.
