"Since there is no one else to praise me, I will praise myself -- will say that I have never tampered with a single tooth in my thought machine, such as it is. There are teeth missing, God knows -- some I was born without, teeth that will never grow.

Some women are like hearthfires, not much to look at but underneath they are all warm red coal that burns a long, long while."
