“His take on the world was his; that didn't mean I had to mold myself to fit into it. This was an astonishing revelation to me. I'd spent my entire life trying to massage everyone's feelings, walking on eggshells, subjugating my own wishes to keep peace. I was far too interested in pleasing other people, in keeping them happy, and trying to figure out continually what they'd like me to be.”

“I had always had a problem with L'espirit de l'escalier -"the spirit of the staircase' the French term for thinking of what to say after you've already left the party. But oh boy, it's fun when you say the right thing in the right moment. It's very rare now for me to have regret on the stairs.”
