I leaned on him for support when I got out of the cab, and he just crumpled to the ground. That's how we found out.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

I would rather have India reduced to a state of pauperism than have thousands of drunkards in our midst.

There are enough scary rock & roll mothers in the world.
