"You can smile when your heart is breaking because you're a woman."

-- Philippa Gregory

“Your punishment if you're a woman. Not loved enough.”
“There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.”
“There is something about riding a unicorn, for those people who still can, which is unlike any other experience: exhilarating, and intoxicating, and fine.”
“I've got a vendetta to destroy the Net, to make everyone go to the library. I love the organic thing of pen and paper, ink on canvas. I love going down to the library, the feel and smell of books.”
“I am in a very peculiar business: I travel all over the world telling people what they should already know.”
“There's the movie you write, there's the movie you shoot and the movie you edit, and often, you find that you're getting the same information out of a scene that you already have and a scene that's actually more powerful, so you have to make the tough decision to take it out.”
“The present times require the vigor and the activity of the prime of life; but I feel the increasing infirmities of age to such a degree, that I am conscious I cannot serve you to advantage.”
