“Reading—it’s the third best thing to do in bed.”

“I like to do things in bed. I fold the laundry on the bed. Food tastes better to me when I'm under the covers. Bed is the only place to read, the best place to talk on the phone.”

“I learned that the way governors projected the numbers of beds they'd need for prison facilities was by examining the reading scores of third graders. Elected officials deduced that a strong percentage of kids reading below their grade level by third grade would be needing a secure place to stay when they got older.”

“When you find yourself in bed with an ugly woman, the best thing to do is close your eyes and get on with it”

“We’re the worst thing because for us the worst thing is the best thing. And it’s only the best thing for us if it’s the worst thing for someone else.”

“I lay in my bed for I don't know how long doing my best to work things out, and my best certainly wasn't good enough.”
