“Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress. When I get fed up with one, I spend the night with the other”

“Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you, and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%.” This is the speech I’ve prepared to tell my wife in the future, when I’m spending a majority minus one percent of my time with my clones.”

“Now this I know what to do with. You’ve been my bride. I promise to spend all night making you my wife.”

“This is worse than death. Now i have to spend eternity with my nagging wife and mother-in-law. what did i do to deserve this?”

“I sometimes get up at night when I can't sleep and walk down into my library and open one of my books and read a paragraph and say, 'My God, did I write that?”

“Don't you understand? I want to spend my life with you. I want you to be there when I go to bed at night and when I wake up in the morning.”
