Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.
I am not a heavy drinker. I can sometimes go for hours without touching a drop.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
I'll go through life either first class or third, but never in second.

The higher the building the lower the morals.
There's always something fishy about the French.
Work is much more fun than fun.
Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade.
