Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead. Do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead.

Stepping out of what you've been taught is right or real, and meeting these people and becoming friends with them can be life-changing.

My troubles are all over, and I am at home; and often before I am quite awake, I fancy I am still in the orchard at Birtwick, standing with my friends under the apple trees.

My family and friends have been really supportive. There aren't very many women in science, so some think it's unusual. I don't think it's unusual.

Many of my friends drink, because drinking age in Germany is 16. I know people who smoke, too, and it's just annoying.

I guess I feel I'm masquerading as an adult when I don't have the kind of friendships and routines that I thought you were supposed to have as an adult. It's the 'Friends' lied to me! syndrome.
