""The twins no longer derive their sustenance..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . . Moral relativism has set in so deeply that the gilded classes have become incapable of discerning right from wrong. Everything can be explained away, especially by journalists. Life is one great moral mush--sophistry washed down with Chardonnay. The ordinary citizens, thank goodness, still adhere to absolutes.... It is they who have saved the republic from creeping degradation while their 'betters' were derelict.”

“Now, what I want is, Facts. . . . Facts alone are wanted in life.”

“We all draw a little and compose a little, and none of us have any idea of time or money.”

“It is a wise child that knows its own father, and an unusual one that unreservedly approves of him.”

“For a man, once you've sired your pups, you're done.”

“We've begun to long for the pitter-patter of little feet - so we bought a dog. Well, it's cheaper, and you get more feet.”

“When I was born I brought no joy, my father said he wanted a boy!”

“As a child, I was more afraid of tetanus shots than, for example, Dracula.”

“When I was 8 years old I became a mute and was a mute until I was 13, and I thought of my whole body as an ear, so I can go into a crowd and sit still and absorb all sound. That talent or ability has lasted and served me until today.”
