“Sometimes sushi is just superb, and other times there's nothing like a great big steak. It depends where your taste buds are at the time.”

“Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.”

“I've never been too afraid of what other people have said, especially when I was younger, but I suppose that was the arrogance of youth.”

“Yes, now I understood for the first time that my soul was not so poor and empty as it had seemed to me, and that it had been only the sun that was lacking to open all its germs, and buds to the light.”

“Once we hit forty, women only have about four taste buds left: one for vodka, one for wine, one for cheese, and one for chocolate.”

“The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within.”
