Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.
Cold sober, I find myself absolutely fascinating.
You can’t change the music of your soul.
Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.

I wear my sort of clothes to save me the trouble of deciding which clothes to wear.
