"When a strong, intelligent woman, like you, finally persuades herself that a man is the thing in life; well, of course, she's the biggest fool of all!"
"You see, I'm the dust under her feet, not the cream in her coffee"
"Mary's such a fool, but I love her for it. It makes me feel so close to her"
It would have been so much more interesting if Mary and Clare had ended up falling in love with each other
