When I go out, I hope to leave the worst of myself at home.

Freedom is the moment between sleep and waking before selfhood and the world return.

Every life has a love story, even though the beloved may be imaginary, or a cat.

An omnipotent God is the only being with no reason to lie.

Not romance but companionship makes the happiness of daily life.

To be a social success, do not act pathetic, arrogant, or bored. Do not discuss your unhappy childhood, your visit to the dentist,the shortcomings of your cleaning woman, the state of your bowels, or your spouse's bad habits. You will be thought a paragon (or perhaps a monster) of good behavior.

Change is upsetting. Repetition is tedious. Three cheers for variation!
