“I swear, when that woman dies, she'll be deader than everybody else.~Pattiecake from Laid Out and Candle Lit”
“I feel like I've been ironing all day in high heels and no brassiere. ~Tizzy Donovan, Laid Out and Candle Lit”
“There is no such thing as an artist: there is only the world lit or unlit as the light allows. When the candle is burning, who looks at the wick? When the candle is out, who needs it?”
“No jewel hold a candle to the cuckoo spit hung from the blade of grass at your ear. No chandelier see you better lit than here.”
“For nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow out your candles, Laura -- and so goodbye. . . .”
“When you die it's the same as if everybody else did too.”
