Sure Would!
I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now that would be interesting.

This Becomes More Evident Every Day
These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people.

Making Peace
When monarchs through their bloodthirsty commanders lay waste a country, they dignify their atrocity by calling it "Making Peace."

My Heart is Aching for a Little Warm Weather!
It's spring fever...You don't quite know what it is you DO want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!

As You're Sipping Your Bottle of Perrier, Remember This...
While impoverished nations may need funding to help their police or their bureaucrats - it will do little if we don't also help desperately poor people feed or educate their children or stop them dying from preventable diseases or dirty drinking water.

Actually, you can help. For only $35. you can provide clean water to some of the one billion who are without.

Don't Forget the Playing Part!
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

I Think I'll Stay in Bed Today
In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes when you awake in the morning.

Something to Mourn
When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell.

In What Universe?
Baked beans on toast provide you with just the right ratio of all the essential amino acids, so it's a great student snack.

Who Doesn't Love Fried Eggs?
I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book. The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.

Who Knew Fraud Could Be Good?
Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people.

Advertising
Advertising has done more to cause the social unrest of the 20th century than any other single factor.

Go Ahead and Laugh!
It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour.

Mud Season is Here!
Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.

I Agree, Absolutely
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.

And This Long Primary Season Doesn't Make Things Any Easier!
I'm not an old, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.

Older People Should Understand That, Too!
Young people should understand that there are no short cuts to a stronger body and that the best way to get faster and stronger is through good diet, nutrition and exercise.

Sunday's Kat Kwote
A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It's a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys.

Tick Tock
Quiet minds can't be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.
