The famous and notorious Mae West:


I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

• When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.

• Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet.

• I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.

• Sex is emotion in motion.

• Virtue has its own reward, but no sale at the box office.

• Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.

• I like my clothes to be tight enough to show I'm a woman, but loose enough to show I'm a lady.

• You're never too old to become younger.

It's not the men in my life that count, it's the life in my men.

His mother should have thrown him out and kept the stork.

• He's the kind of man a woman would have to marry to get rid of.

"You live surrounded by the claims of other people: to your labor when they call it peace, to your life when they call it war; to your celibacy when they call you a bachelor, your body when they call you a husband. They tell you where you shall live, what you shall do, and what thoughts are dangerous. Does not some modern Frenchman, exhausted by it all and very naturally, say 'Hell is other people'?"
Robert Aickman "The View".

Scavenging through life's very constant lulls

"People who read poetry are the unsung customer base for independent bookstores: they are avid readers, they love books as physical objects, they will religiously attend author readings, they read books on a variety of subjects, and they buy more books annually than anyone else I know. By catering to the type of person who reads poetry, these successful bookstores have perhaps unwittingly remained focused on what devoted patrons of bookstores really value: variety over homogeneity, literature over media, humanity over technology, and community over price. "

Janaka Stucky "How to survive in the age of Amazon"

Of one other I must speak, one dragged into that conflict and intrigue only by his loyalty to me. To the end of my days, I will bear the scars he gave me. His worn teeth sank deeply into my hand several times before he managed to drag me from that pool. How he did it, I wil never know. But his head still rested on my chest when they found us; his mortal bonds to this world had broken. Nosy was dead. I believe he gave his life freely, recalling that we had been good to one another when we were puppies. Men cannot grieve as dogs do. But we grieve for many years. — Robin Hobb, Assassin's apprentice

"- Oh, it's simple pragmatism, Dad. It's called the real world. If we refused to do business with morally questionable, the deal volume would drop in half and the good guys like us would end up poor. Then where would we all be?
- On a nice dry spit of land known as the moral high ground? — suggested the Major."
