“You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.”

You’re lucky if you get time to sneeze in this goddam phenomenal world.

It’s not too bad when the sun’s out, but the sun only comes out when it feels like coming out.

Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.

That’s the whole trouble. You can’t ever find a place that’s nice and peaceful, because there isn’t any.

The more expensive a school is, the more crooks it has — I’m not kidding.

I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It’s awful. If I’m on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I’m going, I’m liable to say I’m going to the opera. It’s terrible.

The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.

I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.

Listen, if you’re not going to be a nun or something, you might as well laugh.

Grand. There’s a word I really hate. It’s a phony. I could puke every time I hear it.

We don’t talk, we hold forth. We don’t converse, we expound.

It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road.

I’m up to my ears in unwritten words.

I hate actors. They never act like people. They just think they do.

If you’re not happy being single, you’ll never be happy in a relationship. Get your own life, then share it.

Travel and tell no one, live a true love story and tell no one, live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things.

Do what you love, work as hard as you can, and make people happy.

I’m as gay as a daffodil, my dear!

Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it.

In my life, I am often reminded that there is a destiny that rules over us, because no one whom I know about or whom I read about seems to be completely happy during a long time.

I am happy on my own so here I’ll stay. Save your loving arms for a rainy day.
