No writer in a free country should be expected to bother about the exact demarcation between the sensuous and the sensual; this is preposterous; I can only admire but cannot emulate the accuracy of judgment of those who pose the fair young mammals photographed in magazines where the general neckline is just low enough to provoke a past master's chuckle and just high enough not to make a postmaster frown. Vladimir Nabokov

I know of very few people who are dreaming of a world for their grandchildren. Kurt Vonnegut

Arthur Schopenhauer quote: "The business of the novelist is not to relate great events,..."
The business of the novelist is not to relate great events, but to make small ones interesting. Arthur Schopenhauer
Chumps always make the best husbands. When you marry, Sally, grab a chump. Tap his head first, and if it rings solid, don't hesitate. All the unhappy marriages come from husbands having brains. What good are brains to a man? They only unsettle him. P. G. Wodehouse
