Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?

I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.

A woman can smell mink through six inches of lead.

How do you feel about women's rights? I like either side of them.

I'm not much of a correspondent. My letters are not only uninteresting but sparse. I'm glad I don?t have to write for a living. It?s arduous work and the money is very uncertain. On those rare occasions when I wander into a bookstore it amazes me to see the avalanche of literature and semi-literature that is turned out weekly in this country. The people who write these things are either desperate for money or love starved. Why should anyone on a nice balmy day lock oneself in an office and hit a typewriter for hours on end. I think one of the greatest pleasures in the world is not writing.

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.
