As I watched you tonight for the nth time, I recognized truth in the words you spoke. Here are some of my favorites:
Hats are almost always a mistake.
So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn’t it be the other way around?
Do children not know what handkerchiefs are? What a shame.
When you read a book as a child, it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does.
Meanwhile I am putting up more twinkle lights.
I am a lone reed!
Caviar is a garnish.
What happens to me when I get provoked is I get tongue tied and my mind goes blank. Then I spend all night tossing and turning over what I should have said.
I have a dollar. It’s all I have.
I always miss my mother at Christmas…I need her to make me some cocoa and tell me that everything that’s going badly in my life will sort itself out.
As though you were one of those stupid 22 year old girls with no last name? Hi, I’m Kimberly! Hi, I’m Janice! Don’t they know you’re supposed to have a last name? It’s like they’re an entire generation of cocktail waitresses.
You poor, sad, multimillionaire. I feel so sorry for you.
And maybe no one will remember me either, but there are plenty of people who remember my mother, and they think she was fine.
The odd thing about this form of communication is that you’re more likely to talk about nothing than something. But I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings.
It happened in Spain. People do really stupid things in foreign countries.
But there’s the dream of someone else.
People always say that change is a good thing, but what it really means is that something that you didn’t want to happen, has happened.
It will be something really depressing. Like a Baby Gap
Don’t you think daisies are the friendliest flower?
Whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal.
I could never be with someone who has a boat.
I hope your mango’s ripe.
Thank you, my favorite film heroine, for these bits of wisdom.
Forever quoting them,
Amber
