To a suicide: You just poisoned the wrong person.

Nothing goes sour more easily than the life of pleasure.

To learn a vocation, you also have to learn the frauds it practices and the promises it breaks.

To avoid eye contact, kiss.

Lying just for the fun of it is either art or pathology.

Not even self-love can always be counted on for support.

The Lady: a fluty voice, sensible shoes, a melancholy sense of living by rules few still remember.
