“Don’t complain, don’t explain.”

“Get in, get out. Don't linger. Go on.”

“I am a cigarette with a body attached to it.”

“I'm always learning something. Learning never ends.”

“It ought to make us feel ashamed when we talk like we know what we're talking about when we talk about love.”

“Woke up this morning with a terrific urge to lie in bed all day and read.”

“You've got to work with your mistakes until they look intended. ”
