mind friendly legs
My mind can never know my body, although it has become quite friendly with my legs.
religious envy hustle
I do occasionally envy the person who is religious naturally, without being brainwashed into it or suckered into it by all the organized hustles.
men healthy despair
More than at any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly. I speak, by the way, not with any sense of futility, but with a panicky conviction of the absolute meaninglessness of existence which could easily be misinterpreted as pessimism. It is not. It is merely a healthy concern for the predicament of modern man.
thinking pay crime
I think crime pays. The hours are good, you travel a lot
new-york black-and-white cities
He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion... no, make that: he - he romanticized it all out of proportion. Yes. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.
stills duplicate knows
Your still searching for me in every woman. You'll always seek to duplicate what we had. You know it.
party two dresses
In perpetrating a revolution, there are two requirements: someone or something to revolt against and someone to actually show up and do the revolting. Dress is usually casual and both parties may be flexible about time and place, but if either faction fails to attend, the whole enterprise is likely to come off badly.
morning thinking people
People always ask me, Do you ever think you'll wake up one morning and not be funny? That thought would never occur to me--it's an odd thought and not realistic. Because funny and me are not separate. We're one.
safe failing ifs
If you don't fail now and again, it's a sign you're playing it safe.
two wife luck
I've had bad luck in my two previous marriages. The first wife left me, and the second did not.
funny death humor
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
gossip pornography knows
It's just gossip, you know. Gossip is the new pornography.
movie gambling film
If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.
funny death lying
Dying is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.
