“My father and all my uncles on both sides served in the military in World War II and Korea.”
“Having had that experience... I think, what modern culture wants to see is the relationship with the woman. I don't think you can tell a story on film nowadays where the woman simply is there for the man when he decides to settle down”
“My body seems a mere encumbrance to me; an imbecillic wagon, hitched to the horse of desire, which is the soul.”
“I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.”

“Old maids claw as cats do. They not only inflict wounds but experience pleasure in doing so. Nor will they fail to remind their victims of the blood drawn.”
