There's a general consensus of opinion that people in love are apt to look silly -- except to each other.

Take things as they come. Take things as they are. What does it matter? There's one end to everything.

I used to do miserably in English literature, which I thought was a sign of moral turpitude. As I look back on it, I think it was rather to my credit. The notion of actually putting writers' words into other words is quite ridiculous because why bother if writers mean what they mean, and if they don't, why read them? There is, I suppose, a case for studying literary works in depth, but I don't quite know what 'in depth' means unless you read a paragraph over and over again.

When there is too much to say it is easier to say nothing at all.

when married people begin to talk about their rights, it means something has gone pretty far wrong between them.

I do not approve of children being beaten. It is always a confession of failure.
