Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.

Gossip

Men have always detested women's gossip because they suspect the truth: their measurements are being taken and compared.

Love

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

Misers and Misery

Friends love misery, in fact. Sometimes, especially if we are too lucky or too successful or too pretty, our misery is the only thing that endears us to our friends.

Risk

And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

Talent

Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.
