Most people call me Mercy. I like it
A rich man can afford to be generous to many.
Only a certain breed of actor should ever even try to work for Orson Welles. I'm glad I'm one of that breed.
The great people I've met always have time for the niceties.
I have reached a state in life where I can buy a whole house full of chairs and can bump into them until they are black and blue
I loved playing the part of the feisty Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker
I'd stand in line for Confession with old people and little kids, and as the line moved up, I knew when I got into the box that I would lie! Again!
With two leftover husbands to account for, my wicked soul has just about shriveled and died
I find it next to impossible to remain politely silent when people prate to me about the glory of being given another chance to live happily ever after!
Aside from my son, no person has ever shown for me the gentle concern I knew from Governor Adlai Stevenson.
I am responsible for no one but myself.
Everything edible is fried in Texas! Or it is buried in the ground to cook before it is eaten. ... Texas food should be forbidden! 'The steaks at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas!' And they are always afloat in grease. Next morning you are served a smaller steak, which serves as a platform for two fried eggs ... all of this afloat in the same grease! 'Chicken, you say? You bet! Comin' up!' Same grease! They are right. Comin' up! For hours afterwards. I couldn't believe the crust of an apple pie! Same grease!
It is said that people learn to hate each other because of little things ... not big ones. I know I have always learned to love because of little things ... I'm not at all sure that there are any big ones.
the Irish ... are full of the fear of the Lord and the joy of living, and they don't know how to combine the two, but they'll sure have a good time trying.
