A little bad taste is like a nice dash of paprika. ------------------------ 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. ------------------------ If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. ------------------------ If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to. ------------------------ This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force. ------------------------ The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires. ------------------------ That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment. ------------------------ I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more.

Classic Quotes by Will Cuppy (1884-1949) US writer
Aristotle taught that the brain exists merely to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking. This is true only of certain persons. ------------------------ Aristotle was famous for knowing everything. He taught that the brain exists merely to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking. This is true only of certain persons. ------------------------ Etiquette means behaving yourself a little better than is absolutely essential. ------------------------ Some people lose all respect for the lion unless he devours them instantly. There is no pleasing some people. ------------------------ The Dodo never had a chance. He seems to have been invented for the sole purpose of becoming extinct and that was all he was good for.

I often want to cry. That is the only advantage women have over men - at least they can cry. ------------------------ Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere. ------------------------ The feeling of Sunday is the same everywhere, heavy, melancholy, standing still. Like when they say, "As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end." ------------------------ She could give herself up to the written word as naturally as a good dancer to music or a fine swimmer to water. The only difficulty was that after finishing the last sentence she was left with a feeling at once hollow and uncomfortably full. Exactly like indigestion. ------------------------ We can't all be happy, we can't all be rich, we can't all be lucky - and it would be so much less fun if we were ... Some must cry so that others may be able to laugh the more heartily. ------------------------ I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and one that is broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. ------------------------ Age seldom arrives smoothly or quickly. It's more often a succession of jerks. |
