“I'm not everyone's cup of tea, but that's the great part: I don't have to be.”

“You're great but you're not there when I go to bed at night or get up in the morning. You don't make me a cup of tea after a hard day at work, or rub my back in the bath. I'm sick of being lonely. Is that so wrong? ”

“That's what sofas are for: sit down, drink a cup of tea, talk of literature. At least that's how I see it.”

“When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.”

“There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.”

“I told her tea bags were just a convenience for people with busy lives and she said no one is so busy they can't take time to make a decent cup of tea and if you are that busy you don't deserve a decent cup of tea for what is it all about anyway? Are we put into this world to be busy or to chat over a nice cup of tea?”
