I hate gowns. It's a rare gown indeed that is cool. Most are elegant or whatever, a quality I don't put a big premium on.

I'm not overweight. I flucuate between chubby and curvy.

I want a schedule-keeping, waking-up-early, wallet-carrying, picture-hanging man. I don't care if he takes prescription drugs for cholesterol or hair loss.

There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.

Deep thoughts about the universe mean nothing if you keep putting yourself in the centre of it.

When an atheist is born, a kitten kills a god.

Fear is faith that it won't work out.

Those who escape hell however never talk about it and nothing much bothers them after that

The paid-off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice.
