If I worked at White Globe Consulting, I wouldn't be able to do my job. I would spend all day texting the other people in the office, asking them what was going on today and had they heard anything new and what did they think was going to happen. Hmm. Maybe it's a good thing I'm not in an office job.
You don't always have to know who you are. Sometimes, it's enough just to know what to do next.
It was in the forest. No one saw it or heard it. So did it actually happen?
I feel all agitated, like one of those snow globes you see resting peacefully on shop counters. I was perfectly happy being an ordinary, dull little Swiss village. But now Jack Harper’s come and shaken me up, and there are snowflakes all over the place, whirling around until I don’t know what I think anymore. And bits of glitter, too. Tiny bits of shiny, secret excitement.
I've always had this deep-down conviction that I'm not like everybody else, and there's an amazingly exciting new life waiting for me just around the corner.
Being a journalist is good if you want to write books: it teaches you to get beyond the blank screen. My books have been described as froth, but there's scope to be witty and ironic about everything in life.
My life has changed, and I'm changing with it.
There’s no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.
A real relationship is two-way.
Never give up on something you really want. However impossible things seem, there's always a way.
I'm allergic to family occasions. Sometimes I think we'd do better as dandelion seeds-no family, no history, just floating off into the world, each on our own piece of fluff.
All this time, I wasn't hungry for success, I was hungry.
sometimes you don't need a goal in life, you don't need to know the big picture. you just need to know what you're going to do next!
Life would be a lot easier if conversations were rewindable and erasable, like videos. Or if you could instruct people to disregard what you just said, like in a courtroom.
