“others take me more seriously, because I am with such a successful person—because that means that I, too, must be successful if this successful person has me in his life. It
doesn’t matter that I have been educating myself for 15 years and that I am actually successful in my own right. I must be a bit successful to be in this position. But every
successful career woman knows that she has had to work
like a horse for her success, a lot more than men who have reached the same position. And it is very hard to accept that in our time people first and foremost rank you on the scale of success with regards to the success of your partner.”

“Who even had the right to place singlehood on the list of pathetic stuff in the Encyclopedia of life? I often feel much happier if I am alone, at least until I remember that it’s not very socially acceptable to be alone, single, and lonely. Sometimes I feel like even a harem would be more acceptable than a single person. Because something must be completely wrong with someone if nobody wants them. How stupid! Something is wrong with this person! She’s happy when she’s alone! She’s happy to be by herself. Handle that, if you can.”

“Thankfully I heard no comments about how beautiful I am, and everyone was focusing on my immense intelligence.”

“I generally think it is better to stay away from people who are so-
called takers. Takers of energy, time, money, love. And it’s not difficult to recognise them, because each encounter
with them leaves you completely exhausted and in need of
a day of rest.”
