- "Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another."
- "To live alone is the fate of all great souls."

- "When you’re passionate about something, you want it to be all it can be. But in the endgame of life, I fundamentally believe the key to happiness is letting go of that idea of perfection."― Debra Messing
