Vulgarity is the garlic in the salad of charm.

Believing in Hell must distort every judgement on this life.

We create the world in which we live; if that world becomes unfit for human life, it is because we tire of our responsibility.

The one way to get thin is to re-establish a purpose in life.

In the sex-war, thoughtlessness is a weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female. Both are reciprocally generated, but a woman's desire for revenge outlasts all other emotion. Yet when every unkind word about women has been said, we have still to admit, with Byron, that they are nicer than men. They are more devoted, more unselfish and more emotionally sincere. When the long fuse of cruelty, deceit and revenge is set alight, it is male thoughtlessness which has fired it.

Imprisoned in every fat man a thin one is wildly signalling to be let out.
