Quotes

  • Thank God for reflex decisions; they are the sine qua non of serenity. Suppose you had to decide afresh each day whether or not to brush your teeth?
  • When you write, you can hide behind your words. When you talk, you are up front, like the clown in the midway booth; any passer-by can bean you with a ball.
  • All flowers are flirtatious—particularly if they carry hyphenated names. The more hyphens in the name, the flirtier the flower.
