“I kept interrupting the movie by asking a lot of questions that Xavier managed to answer with endless patience. "How old do you think Bell is supposed to be?" "I don't know, probably our age." "I think the beast is sweet, don't you?" "Do I have to answer that?" "Why does the crockery talk?" "Because they're really the prince's servants that the beggar woman put a spell on." Xavier frowned suddenly and looked mortified. "I can't believe I know that.”
“Past experience with fiscal austerity at home and overseas strongly suggests that it is best for the economy's long-run performance to restrain government spending rather than raise taxes.”
“Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists.”
“Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love.”
“I didn't have an imaginary friend, and even if I did I'm sure it would have been derivative of something I saw on television.”
“I dont remember a big fight between the Republicans and Democrats in the Nixon administration or President Gerald Ford and so on.”
“I believe that by living as athletes we live more fully.”
