“Oh, the strawberries don't taste as they used to and the thighs of women have lost their clutch!”

“One can tell a child everything, anything. I have often been struck by the fact that parents know their children so little. They should not conceal so much from them.

I call them birds because there is nothing in the world better than birds!”
