Women eat while they are talking; men talk while they are eating.
In mixed company women practise a kind of visual shorthand that they later decode in detail in other women's company.
Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.
The ring always believes that the finger lives for it.
We always keep God waiting while we admit more importunate suitors.
We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.
