You lose your manners when you're poor.

Fear comes with middle age.

Drinking makes uninteresting people matter less and late at night, matter not at all.

There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in the Bible with the locusts. And other people who stand around and watch them eat.

How often the rich like to play at being poor. A rather nasty game, I've always thought.

A room of one's own isn't nearly enough. A house, or, best, an island of one's own.

God forgives those who invent what they need.
