Quotes
- “One of these days, I feel sure, it is going to dawn on the world that the joys of the sexual act have been ludicrously overrated.”
- “The truth is, you are talking to someone at the very end of things. I felt that first about two years ago. I felt it creeping up, and now I know I am approaching the end.”
