“In losing a friend, she is reminded of all she has lost and all she stands to lose again. There is nothing to be done to make it any easier.
We all grieve alone.”

“Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free.”

“Do not grieve for her! Who knows, but she may have found the joy she sought? Love and patience are all that make for happiness in this world; or in the world of the past or of the future; of the living or the dead. She dreamed her dream; and that is all that any of us can ask.”

“If she doesn't speak, she is making a choice. If she doesn't try, she can lose her chance forever.

“She was doing it because she had nothing to lose, because her life was one of constant, day to day frustration.”

“After a long, long time she reached an important conclusion. She was never going to stand by and say nothing again.”

“I am braver than I was because I have lost all; and he who has nothing to lose can afford all risks.”

“She existed in her friends; there she was. All the parts of herself she'd forgotten. She knew herself best when she was with them.”

“The stereotype is the Eternal Feminine. She is the sexual object sought by all men, and all women. She is of neither sex for she herself has no sex at all. Her value is solely attested by the demand she excites in others. All she must contribute is her existence. She need achieve nothing, for she is the reward of achievement. She need never give positive evidence of her moral character because virtue is assumed from her loveliness, and her passivity.”

“If you lose money you lose much,
If you lose friends you lose more,
If you lose faith you lose all.”
