Any film is at least better than real life.

What is privacy if not for invading?

In New York, I find people so courteous and so generous. Free drinks in bars. Free taxi rides.

Another friend began to say, "Well, Quentin has a problem of adjusting himself to society and he..." This sentence was never finished. The ballet teacher expostulated, "I don't agree. Quentin does exactly as he pleases. The rest of us have to adapt ourselves to him."

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

To lose is not always failure.

It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom.
