"I've learned to get really good at this - say one thing when I'm thinking about something else, act like I'm listening when I'm not, pretend to be calm and happy when I'm really freaking out. It's one of the skills you perfect as you get older."
"The pretence leads up to the real thing. When you are not feeling particularly friendly but know you ought to be, the best thing you can do, very often, is put on a friendly manner and behave as if you were a nicer person than you actually are. And in a few minutes, as we have all noticed, you will be really feeling friendlier than you were. Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it already."
"No man is exempt from saying silly things, the mischief is to say them deliberately."
"By drinking, a boy acts like a man. After drinking, many a man acts like a boy."
"For the most expensive way to realize an orgasm, men open their wallets. For the cheapest, they close their eyes."
"With animal behavior, they're all fine until you introduce some rogue element into the cage, and then they go crazy."

"The divergence of songs in the new population away from those in the progenitor population would only be prevented if these processes were balanced by repeated immigration and subsequent breeding: song flow."
"Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools."
"To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life."
"The independent role of morphology in mate choice is revealed by the rare instances where the usual association between song and morphology is disrupted."
"Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit information are the evolving properties."
