"People have their own deaths as well as their own lives, and even if there is nothing beyond death, we shall differ in our nothingness."

"I rather mistrust young men who slip into life gracefully."

If I marry it will either be a man who's strong enough to boss me or whom I'm strong enough to boss. So I shan't ever marry, for there aren't such men. And Heaven help any one whom I do marry, for I shall certainly run away from him before you can say 'Jack Robinson."

"Instead of clinging to the only Lifeboat that can save, we have tossed overboard biblical truths in the name of [compromise], living on the edge of life, like the man who rides the parameter of a hurricane, daring it to sweep him away."

"There's one thing you can say for air pollution, you get utterly amazing sunrises."
