“CASPAR: I mean…what do you want, Rosalind? ROSALIND: So many things: to wake up without feeling the weight of the day pressing down, to fall asleep more easily, without wondering what it is that’s keeping me awake, to eat more greens and also beetroot, to be kissed, to feel important, to learn how to be okay being with other people, and also how to be alone. To be a child again, held up and admired, the world full of endless future. To see my father look at me with uncomplicated pride. To be kissed.”

“DON. You know, I have this theory ... I think the things we
want but can't have are probably the things that define us ...
And I've spent more time than I'd like to admit coming to this
pretty simple conclusion so I hope you don't think it's completely
ridiculous. But ... I guess I'm talking about ... I don't know ...
yearning?”

“ROSALIND. Oh. Yes. But ... you just have to get by, don't you?
That's all one can do. You can't constantly be thinking about that ... or I imagine it would destroy you.”

“...you have to learn where your pain is. You have to burrow down and find the wound, and if the burden of it is too terrible to shoulder, you have to shout it out; you have to shout for help... And then finally, the way through grief is grieving.”

“I was starting to wonder if I was ready to be a writer, not someone who won prizes, got published and was given the time and space to work, but someone who wrote as a course of life. Maybe writing wouldn't have any rewards. Maybe the salvation I would gain through work would only be emotional and intellectual. Wouldn't that be enough, to be a waitress who found an hour or two hidden in every day to write?”
