I believe in art that conceals art.
Put your money in your head, that way no one can take it from you.
We animals live life in all its glorious uncertainty. Why do politicians think they can control events?
Oh well, maybe the only beauty left in cities is in the oil slicks on the road and maybe there isn’t any beauty left in the people who live in these places.
There are very few people who are creative and imaginative. Therefore, fiction is difficult for people to embrace.
Recognition of function always precedes recognition of being.
I became a lesbian because of women, because women are beautiful, strong, and compassionate.
Not until my middle thirties did I consider myself a novelist.
Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn’t sign your name you’d have to pay cash.
Cats and dogs believe politicians are like cemetery caregivers; they are on top of everyone, but nobody listens.
Don’t hope more than you’re willing to work.
While cats can be infuriating, little old women in fur coats, they make me laugh. Of course, dogs, horses and my highly social chickens are dear to me, too.
No animal on the face of the earth could conceive of taxation. You and I work roughly six months a year to pay our local, state and federal taxes. If nothing else, this should convince you that animals are smarter than people.
It doesn’t matter to me. We’re still cousins in our own way. Blood’s just something old people talk about to make you feel bad.
Mothers have a habit of proving right except you don’t find that out until you’re the age your mother was when she gave you the advice.
Never let anyone or any social attitude stand in the way of your productivity.
Consider the “new” woman. She’s trying to be Pollyanna Borgia, clearly a conflict of interest. She’s supposed to be a ruthless winner at work and a bundle of nurturing sweetness at home.
Never measure literature by accounting statistics. A quarter of working authors earn less than $1,000.
The price of dishonesty is self-destruction.
I think in the years to come what Reagan will be remembered for is that he had the chance to stop the plague and he chose not to because the ‘right people’ were dying.
