Now the thing about having a baby - and I can't be the first person to have noticed this - is that thereafter you HAVE it.

The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just plain terrible.

Man is the only animal that learns by being hypocritical. He pretends to be polite and then, eventually, he becomes polite.

One of the most difficult things to contend with in a hospital is that assumption on the part of the staff that because you have lost your gall bladder you have also lost your mind.

Hope is the feeling you have that feeling you have isn't permanent.

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want - an adorable pancreas?

I make mistakes; I'll be the second to admit it.
