One should always be wary of anyone who promises that their love will last longer than a weekend.

Manners are love in a cool climate.

To lose is not always failure.

Muddled syntax is the outward and audible sign of confused minds, and the misuse of grammar the result of illogical thinking.

When I was young, I don't know how, I spent all my time in the presence of married women telling me their troubles. And when I said 'Why did you marry?' they said, 'Oh I married to get away from home.' And when I said, 'And why don't you leave him?' they gave the saddest answer in the world: they said, 'Where would I go?' So they stayed with men they didn't like because they had nowhere to go.

I recommend limiting one's involvement in other people's lives to a pleasantly scant minimum.

My function in life was to render clear what was already blindingly conspicuous.
