Brains are an asset to the woman in love who's smart enough to hide 'em.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.

There are no good girls gone wrong - just bad girls found out.

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

Love thy neighbor - and if he happens to be tall, debonair and devastating, it will be that much easier.

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

Men are like linoleum floors. Lay 'em right and you can walk all over them for years.

I'm no angel, but I've spread my wings a bit.

Women are like roads. The more curves they have, the more dangerous they are.

When people pressure you to engage in negative decisions and actions, look at them boldly in the eyes and dare them to do good.

That's what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays

I'm thankful my parents obliged me to live with the unvarnished truth: I might not have been a looker, but I was a better speller than the prettiest girl in my class, and I was funnier, too.

We can't always choose how we feel. We can, however, choose what we do about it, which ironically can change how we feel!

My mom can still slap me silly and my dad still threatens to ground me.

That it is a solecism to begin a sentence with 'and' is a faintly lingering superstition. The OED gives examples ranging from the 10th to the 19th c.; the Bible is full of them.

We don't like to think of ourselves as subject to the forces of the world, we like to think of ourselves as exerting that force.

I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.

My own sense of family, where I came from and what I made for myself is an important part of my life.
