"(On seeing a former lover for the first time in years) I thought I told you to wait in the car."

"I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education."

"Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there's no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds."

"If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner."

"Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time."
