People in cars cause accidents and accidents in cars cause people.

We live a pleasant life shopping at the Food Shoppe . . . taking the kids to the Weinery-Beanery, . . . and eating bran flakes . .. and then, with no warning, we wake up one morning stricken with middle age, full of loneliness, dumb, in pain. Our work is useless, our vocation is lost, and nobody cares about us at all. This is not bearable. In despair, we go do something spectacularly dumb, like run away with Amber the cocktail waitress, and suddenly all the women in our life look at us with unmitigated disgust.

When you come to expect humor of people, you will never get it.

It's confidence; it has to be something good about getting old. One of the things is that you just don't stress about some stuff that made you so worried.

People in cars cause accidents and accidents in cars cause people.

I remember when I switched from Christmas to sex as the secret of happiness.

Sometimes you have to look reality in the eye, and deny it.
