“Housework is a cinch, provided your standards are low enough.”

“There is no such thing as writer's block for writers whose standards are low enough.”

“Generally speaking, it is Pisces who provides most of the emotional input into your relationship but that doesn’t mean The Goat is unfeeling or insensitive. Moreover, it is the Fish who provides the extreme highs and low in your relationship and, strangely enough, it is this rollercoaster ride that helps Pisces cope with the monotony and routine and control that is the Goat’s preferred way of living.”

“Evidently you think I'm a fool who will easily succumb to flattery, or else your standards are quite low.”

“If critics say your work stinks it's because they want it to stink and they can make it stink by scaring you into conformity with their comfortable little standards. Standards so low that they can no longer be considered "dangerous" but set in place in their compartmental understandings.”

“I have my standards. They're low, but I have them.”
