"You can't be unhappy when you are holding a cup of tea."

"I am not good at noticing when I'm happy, except in retrospect."

"I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone."

"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love."

"I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel."

"Love does not terrify me. But the going away of it does."
