The beloved is the ultimate fetish.

No use saying necessity is making a mistake.

Finding a thought for an aphorism is not hard. Putting a kink in its tail is the hard part.

My father liked to moralize, and so do I. But he was in earnest, while I am embarrassed and pretend that I am merely being witty.

I reject all evidence that my fabulous beloved is an ordinary person who worries, watches TV, and has bouts of indigestion.

Many count on their disadvantages to cover for them.

Knowledge and power in the city; peace and decency in the country.
