"Cocoa? Cocoa! Damn miserable puny stuff, fit for kittens and unwashed boys. Did Shakespeare drink cocoa?" ------------------------- "It has long been my belief that in times of great stress, such as a 4-day vacation, the thin veneer of family wears off almost at once, and we are revealed in our true personalities." ------------------------- "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more." |

I hate and regret the failure of my marriages. I would gladly give all my millions for just one lasting marital success." ------------------------- "If you can count your money, you don't have a billion dollars." ------------------------- "If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem.

You have to spread it around or it smells." |

"Consider the public. Never fear it nor despise it. Coax it, charm it, interest it, stimulate it, shock it now and then if you must, make it laugh, make it cry, but above all never, never, never bore the living hell out of it." -------------------- "Extraordinary how potent cheap music is." -------------------- "I am not a heavy drinker.

All the windows of my heart I open to the day. -------------------- An ashen memory in its stead. -------------------- As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth. -------------------- Before me, even as behind, God is, and all is well. -------------------- For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those 'It might have been.' -------------------- God's colors all are fast. -------------------- It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done. -------------------- It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that. -------------------- Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope. -------------------- No longer forward nor behindI look in hope or fear;But, grateful, take the good I find,The best of now and here.

A politician is the devil's quilted anvil; He fashions all sins on him, and the blows are never heard. -------------------- Fortune's a right whore. If she give ought, she deals it in small parcels, that she may take away all at one swoop. -------------------- 'Tis better to be fortunate than wise. -------------------- We are merely the stars tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them. -------------------- When I go to hell, I mean to carry a bribe: for look you, good gifts evermore make way for the worst persons. -------------------- We think caged birds sing, when indeed they cry. -------------------- Is not old wine wholesomest, old pippins toothsomest, old wood burns brightest, old linen wash whitest? Old soldiers, sweetheart, are surest, and old lovers are soundest.
