The world is very lovely, and it's very horrible--and it doesn't care about your life or mine or anything else.

The female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are your own fears

Who are neither children nor gods, but men in a world of men!

We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe.

If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. . . . The world will be yours and everything in it, what's more, you'll be a man, my son.
