Book: Dolores Claiborne

What I felt was fury. <...> It's like love, only with a minus sign.

... if something needs to be done, then it should be done well.

In those days I still believed that love female to male and male to female is stronger than the addiction to alcohol and cards, - such love, thought I, necessarily rises up as cream in a jug of milk. But over the next ten years I learned a lot. Life is a great teacher.

... human life is almost all made in order to make a choice but to pay the bills. The choice is sometimes trash nowhere, but it does not give a person the right to Dodge - especially when it is necessary for others to do what they themselves cannot do. Well then make a better choice, as far as possible, and then pay the price.

It was like getting lost in a magical forest, when, looking back, suddenly notice that the path disappears.

Everything I saw that eye was disgusting, and then I realized that going after Joe married, I didn't just made the biggest mistake in my life; it was the only mistake, really of importance, because not only I had to pay for it.

One thing I will say: there is no way to prepare for the fact that you have a heart attack. And there is no escape - only to go forward but to hope that after all without it I'll be fine.

... and you know what they say smart people: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Sometimes, what would the woman say to the man, all will be regarded wrong.

I always noticed that girls, when she falls in love with the boy, his eyes shining like them with the flashlight turned on.

I think I have a right to believe in what I want to believe.

It is funny how people seems to see everything and interpret just the opposite. Just how else, if not to forget that usually the marriage outside the marriage on the inside is not very similar.

But humans are not horses, and family life - not the van that pulled in harness, even from the outside it sometimes seems.

The fact is that sometimes we must be cruel to be kind.
