No iron can stab the heart with such force as a period put just at the right place.

There is no iron that can enter the human heart with such stupefying effect, as a period placed at just the right moment.

She would lift her peignoir above her knees and say to her husband: 'Give baby a kiss...'

A phrase is born into the world both good and bad at the same time. The secret lies in a slight, an almost invisible twist. The lever should rest in your hand, getting warm, and you can only turn it once, not twice.

No iron can pierce the human heart as chillingly as a full stop placed at the right time.
