Martyrdom is often the result of excessive gullibility.

Exaggeration is the cheapest form of humor.

Peculiar or not, it is my idea of pleasure. Why, why else do you lead this life you don't enjoy it? Don't talk of duty to me; you men always have some high-sounding excuse for indulging yourselves. You go gallivanting over the earth, climbing mountains, looking for the sources of the Nile; and expect women to sit dully at home embroidering. I embroider very badly. I think I would excavate rather well.

When emotion supersedes reason ... gullibility must follow.

I do hope you have some money. I'm getting tired of hitting people.

Another dead body. Every year it is the same. Every year, another dead body.

Marriage, in my view, should be a balanced stalemate between equal adversaries.
