“Our ideas about love and attractiveness are so primal, our need for belonging so intense, that most of us are loath to abandon our favorite beliefs on these issues.

“I was learning to track rhinoceroses in Africa and tracked right up on an animal that really I thought was going to kill me.”

“I think if I could have a boyfriend like my brothers I'd be really happy. But without the brother thing.”

“After a number of years dating, we decided we were good partners.”

“Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.”
