Youth should be a savings bank.

Strength alone knows conflict, weakness is born vanquished.

We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.

Repentance is accepted remorse.

Friendship is the most important thing of all.

We have a more intimate relationship with food than with almost anything else we buy, so people are with very good reason concerned about the real story behind what they eat.

It became very clear to the director that it would be foolish not to use our friendship. I had tried to talk to him about it because all the relationships in the film are so, not negative, but antagonistic. There's not a lot of love going around.

One of the things I find in writing about people who are dead is that, after a short or long time, no matter how close the relationship was, they become like characters in fiction.
