Formal courtesy between husband and wife is even more important than it is between strangers.

Faith is intellectual laziness.

It's up to the artist to use language that can be understood, not hide it in some private code. Most of these jokers don't even want to use language you and I know or can learn . . . they would rather sneer at us and be smug, because we 'fail' to see what they are driving at. If indeed they are driving at anything--obscurity is usually the refuge of incompetence.

My dear, I used to think I was serving humanity . . . and I pleasured in the thought. Then I discovered that humanity does not want to be served; on the contrary it resents any attempt to serve it. So now I do what pleases myself.

Must be yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please.

Cats have no sense of humor, they have terribly inflated egos, and they are very touchy.

If I don’t start having service I’m going to swap you all for a dog and shoot the dog.
