"Madame....gloatingly savored her words as earlier she had savored her pig's trotter."

-- Georges Simenon

“More than any other setting - more than battlefields or boardrooms or a spaceship headed for intergalactic travel - I'll put my money on the family to provide an endless source of comedy, tragedy and intrigue.”
“What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”
“The truant Fancy was a wanderer ever.”
“The secret to enlightenment is to lighten up. Whether you are talking rock or women, all there.”
“Now I do not myself share that superstitious reverence for the beliefs of common sense which many contemporary philosophers profess. But I think that we must start from them, and that we ought to depart from them only when we find good reason to do so.”
“As an actor, you always want to keep it different, change it up, and, you know, just to keep yourself inspired and work with interesting characters.”

“It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.”
“Happy," I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words donâ€™t have much faith in them and I am no exception â€“ especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far to relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because theyâ€™re scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.”
