“Choose a checked or striped wall paper. People will be halfway home before they are able to focus.”

“I'm eighteen years behind in my ironing. There's no use doing it now, it doesn't fit anybody I know.”

“If it weren't for my adam's apple, I'd have no shape at all.”

“Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.”

“Ninety percent of all mental errors are in your head.”

“I never felt so fervently thankful, so soothed, so tranquil, so filled with the blessed peace, as I did yesterday when I learned that Michael Angelo was dead.”
