Nurses - nurses, you'm all the same. Full of cheerfulness over other people's troubles.

I'm sorry, but I do hate this differentiation between the sexes. The modern girl has a thoroughly businesslike attitude to life! That sort of thing. It's not a bit true! Some girls are businesslike and some aren't. Some men are sentimental and muddle-headed, others are clear-headed and logical. There are just different types of brains.

But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.

Hercule Poirot: I am an imbecile. I see only half of the picture. Miss Lemon: I don't even see that.

Everything must be taken into account. If the fact will not fit the theory---let the theory go.
