“If circumstances lead me, I will find Where truth is hid, though it were hid indeed Within the centre.”

“A wedding is not house-keeping.”

“Artie is a singer, and I'm a writer and player and a singer. We didn't work together on a creative level and prepare the songs. I did that.”

“A single man has not nearly the value he would have in a state of union. He is an incomplete animal. He resembles the odd half of a pair of scissors.”
