“The defects of the mind, like those of the face, grow worse with age.”

“We always like those who admire us.”

“You think the shadow is the substance.”

“Well, my smile's pretty hard to miss, considering I'm a gal who likes her lipstick-the redder the better.”

“It is often hard to determine whether a clear, open, and honorable proceeding is the result of goodness or of cunning.”

“I'm on the pursuit of awesomeness, excellence is the bare minimum.”

“The final event to himself has been, that as he rose like a rocket, he fell like the stick.”

“I was saving the name of 'Geisel' for the Great American Novel.”
