Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson

  • Love means you can never be apart.
  • Nothing is more important in life than giving and receiving love.
  • Honey, I don't want to ride the train. I want to drive the train.
  • People always remember the worst day of their lives. It becomes part of them forever.
  • When your own romantic life is falling apart, everyone else's looks fabulous.
  • He'd never met a lonely, depressed soul he didn't want to try to help somehow.
  • Maybe beauty, true beauty, is so overwhelming, it goes straight to our hearts. Maybe it makes us feel emotions that are locked away inside.
  • He couldn't fix that little boys weren't allowed to show their emotions, and that seemed unfair to them, and made them as angry as hell, sometimes for the rest of their lives, so that they took it out on everybody, but especially women.
  • There's nothing better than love in this life. This is a tall order--but find somebody to love you, and try your hardest to love her back, the best you can.
  • You are an endless project. Changing, evolving, surprising.
  • The fantasy is much better than the reality.
  • Looking well is the best revenge.
  • Just because life is hard, and always ends in a bad way, doesn't mean that all stories have to, even if that's what they tell us in school and in the New York Times Book Review. In fact, it's a good thing that stories are as different as we are, one from another.
  • Is it so impossible to imagine or believe?--that a man and a woman can find happiness together for a little while, which, after all, is all that we have. All anyone has.
