There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.

One friend with whom you have a lot in common is better than three with whom you struggle to find things to talk about.

You should know I disagree with a lot of traditional advice. For instance, they say the best revenge is living well. I say it’s acid in the face—who will love them now?

I'm the kind of person who would rather get my hopes up really high and watch them get dashed to pieces than wisely keep my expectations at bay and hope they are exceeded. This quality has made me a needy and theatrical friend, but has given me a spectacularly dramatic emotional life.

Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.

I say if you love something, set it in a small cage and pester and smother it with love until it either loves you back or dies.

I simply regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world created therein has different rules than my regular human world.
