I've never had an affair with somebody who wasn't at the same time a very good friend of mine, if you see what I mean.

But it's Sunday, Mr. Bell. Clocks are slow on Sundays.

You don't understand. You've never hated anybody. No, I never have. We're allotted just so much time on earth, and I wouldn't want the Lord to see me wasting mine in any such manner.

It was the most haunting room I've ever seen. Because you know what's in it? All the left­overs, all the paraphernalia that the different condemned men had had with them in the "holding" cells.

I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart. Which isn't being pious. Just practical. Cancer may cool you, but the other's sure to.

I've never worked for a newspaper. I've had some very bad reviews in newspapers.

I've never been a teacher in my life.
