“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”
“By the time you swear you’re his,
Shivering and sighing.
And he vows his passion is,
Infinite, undying.
Lady make note of this –
One of you is lying.”
“I hate writing, I love having written.”
“I don’t know much about being a millionaire, but I’ll bet I’d be darling at it.”
“That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment.”
“This wasn’t just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it."
“If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.”
