“You really only think with one part of your anatomy don’t you?”

“Your first kiss isn’t as important as your last. The math test really didn’t matter. The pie really did. The stuff you’re good at and the stuff you’re bad at are just different parts of the same thing. Same goes for the people you love and the people you don’t—and the people who love you and the people who don’t. The only thing that mattered was that you cared about a few people. Life is really, really short.”

“...write your own part. It is the only way I've gotten anywhere. It is much harder work, but sometimes you have to take destiny into your own hands. It forces you to think about what your strengths really are, and once you find them, you can showcase them, and no one can stop you.”

“I really don’t think you should put your hand inside the manticore, dear. You don’t know where it’s been. —Enid Healy”

“You were forthcoming, articulate, and gave the details. You're alibied up to your gonads--Oh, sorry.""Not a problem, I like knowing that part of my anatomy is protected.”

“It was the former ballet star Robert Helpmann who famously observed the problem with dancing naked: when you stop on the music, not all parts of your anatomy stop at the same time.”
