..the best is only bought at the cost of great pain...or so says the legend

It's no fun to be a bluestocking in a family of jockstraps.

I have an editor in my head, that's why I can't read Harry Potter, because Rowling is such a lousy writer.

duty, the most indecent of all obsessions, was only another name for love.

I think explicit love scenes are a turn off unless it's the kind you read with one hand.

Oh, that feels good! I don't know who invented ties and then insisted a man was only properly dressed when he wore one, but if I ever meet him, I'll strangle him with his own invention

If you love people, they kill you. If you need people, they kill you. They do I tell you!
