2 " You might as well make yourself fly as to make yourself love. "
3 " For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit. "
4 " Men are always ready to respect anything that bores them. "
5 " Most men judge your importance in their lives by how much you can hurt them, not by how happy you can make them. "
6 " When you're young and healthy you can plan on Monday to commit suicide, and by Wednesday you're laughing again. "
7 " A strong man doesn't have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn't match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world. "

9 " That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed. "

12 " الرجال يختلفون كثيرا عن النساء، إنهم زاخرون يتقديس الأبطال مناصرة لجنسهم. من الصعب أن تتخيل طاولة مليئة بالنساء يجلسن طوال ساعة كاملة يمتدحن ويتملقن امرأة اخرى، حتى لو كانت بطلة تفوق الرجل ثلاثة اضعاف. "

15 " But chiefly, no lies! No lies about there being a Santa Claus or about the world being full of noble and honorable people all eager to help each other and do good to each other. I'll tell her there are honor and goodness in the world, the same as there are diamonds and radium. "
16 " Most men judge your importance in their lives by how much you can hurt them. "
17 " I lay in bed at night crying to myself. The only one who loved me and watched over me was someone I couldn't see or hear or touch. "
18 " Yes, there was something special about me, and I knew what it was. I was the kind of girl they found dead in a hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand. "
19 " The chief drawback with men is that they are too talkative. "
