no one had told her about the end of love

"Welcome to the age of un-innocence. No one has Breakfast at Tiffany's and no one has Affairs to Remember. Instead we have breakfast at 7 am and affairs we try to forget as quickly as possible. Self protection and closing the deal are paramount. Cupid has flown the co-op. How the hell did we get into this mess? There are thousands, maybe ten thousands of women like this in the city. We all know them and we all agree they're great. They travel, they pay taxes, they'll spend 400$ on a pair of Manolo Blahnik strapy sandals, and they're alone."

nothing at all

" People are really romantic about the beginnings of things. Fresh start, clean slate, a world of possibility. But no mater what new adventure you're embarking on, you're still you. You bring you into every new beginning in your life, so how different can it possibly be? It's all anybody wants right? Clean slate? A new beginning? Like that's gonna be any easier. Ask the guy pushing up the bolder up the hill. Nothing is easy about starting over. Nothing at all. "

cement legs

My legs were just legs again, not cement, and now that I felt capable of running away, I no longer wanted or needed to.
