Fortunately, like all good things, Christmas Day does come to an end.

[Law] is one part justice to nine parts expediency. Who needs it.

Beware the beguiled, they do their own beguiling.

A lawyer's relationship to justice and wisdom is on a par with a piano tuner's relationship to a concert. He neither composes the music, nor interprets it-he merely keeps the machinery running.

Well, I thought, as I tidied up the kitchen, there's no question that a man who works all week needs to relax on the weekend. There's no question about that. There's only a question about this: What about a woman who works all week?

My husband believed that all women who want to should be free, equal, independent, creative, well informed, and lead stimulating, interesting lives. Except me.

Nobody's ever satisfied until they've been dead a good week.
