“.. it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world… It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel.”

“You try to be good, to be good and loving and nice and not hard, not tough, a sweet nice girl, not ugly, not full of ugliness, but people make it impossible.”

“Nice people don't necessarily fall in love with nice people.”

“Love can make you do things that you never thought possible.”
