Always be smarter than the people who hire you.
It is not the load that breaks you down; it's the way you carry it.
Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.
It's so nice to get flowers while you can still smell the fragrance
It's ill-becoming for an old broad to sing about how bad she wants it. But occasionally we do.
