I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true. How do people go to sleep? I'm afraid I've lost the knack. I might try busting myself smartly over the temple with the nightlight. I might repeat to myself, slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound; if I can remember any of the damn things. Gratitude - the meanest and most snivelling attribute in the world. Four be the things I'd have been better without: love, curiosity, freckles and doubt. Enjoyed it! One more drink and I'd have been under the host. Ducking for apples - change one letter and it's the story of my life. Brevity is the soul of lingerie. I require three things in a man. He must be handsome, ruthless and stupid. The sweeter the apple, the blacker the core. Scratch a lover and find a foe! Four be the things I am wiser to know: Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe. |
