“Am going to cook shepherd's pie for them all - British home cooking.”

“I realize it has become too easy to find a diet to fit in with whatever you happen to feel like eating and that diets are not there to be picked and mixed but picked and stuck to, which is exactly what I shall begin to do once I've eaten this chocolate croissant.”

“Work — once merely an annoying nuisance — has become an agonizing torture.”

“I like you very much. Just as you are.”
