“This is just a little love song I for my wife. Or for everybody who is going to listen now, but I wrote it for my wife.”
“I knew what song was next and I knew who I was dancing with. My wife.”
“I remember my wife in white.' It just made people weep to hear it...Everybody just thought it was the saddest sentence that was ever written. And it didn't matter if I never wrote another word. This one sentence had put an end to the need for any future sentences. I had said it all.”
“I killed the wife when I first tasted sensual joys without love, and then it was that I killed my wife.”
“She’s my wife. She goes where I go.”
“Is there nothing I have done which will outlive me, other than the opprobrium of my first wife and sons and grandchildren?Do I care?Doesn't everybody?Poor me. Poor practically everybody, with so little durable good to leave behind!”
