“I have advice for people who want to write. I don't care whether they're 5 or 500. There are three things that are important: First, if you want to write, you need to keep an honest, unpublishable journal that nobody reads, nobody but you. Where you just put down what you think about life, what you think about things, what you think is fair and what you think is unfair. And second, you need to read. You can't be a writer if you're not a reader. It's the great writers who teach us how to write. The third thing is to write. Just write a little bit every day. Even if it's for only half an hour — write, write, write.”
― Madeleine L'Engle

“Just what I was afraid of—now I was his pet clown girl…you don’t date clown girls and you definitely don’t fall in love with them. Clown girls are like the caricatures in a Bollywood movie—I’ll never be his leading lady.”

“The trick to a satisfying relationship is the same as the one for satisfying sex—thrust, hold, withdraw, pause. Repeat. Too fast or too much invariably spoils the fun.”

“Not just Ricky, all my past relationships with men had been like a spate of pesky diseases—each more formidable than the other. It was almost as if I had run a ‘sucky boyfriends marathon’ or something, and won.”
