Carol Grace quotes:

Looking out of a hospital window is different from looking out of any other. Somehow you do not see outside.

The dying process begins the minute we are born, but it accelerates during dinner parties.

The freedom to make mistakes is the one and only bonus of getting old.

Wars are started by the truth. Peace is proclaimed with lies.

I don't think marriages break up because of what you do to each other. They break up because of what you must become in order to stay in them.

when you speak of other people's marriages, you are, of course, saying something about your own.

a man is very revealed by his wife, just as a woman is revealed by her husband. People never marry beneath or above themselves, I assure you.

There is no old age. There is, as there always was, just you.

I did not survive everything. No one ever does. Little pieces of you - sometimes the best of you - get lost in a little lie here, a little joke there. And of course, the aftereffect is the tiny sob - unseen, unheard, deeply felt.

There can be no great love without exclusivity.

You do know when people say 'chic,' they mean thin.

it was first love. There's no love like that. I don't wish it on a soul. I don't hate anyone enough.

Hate is funny. Love isn't. Love can kill you. Hate can keep you alive.
