But since you're asking me, I'll tell you my opinion: all cornbread is authentic, as long as it's good, hot, and made with love and fresh ingredients.

No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.

How science dwindles, and how volumes swell, How commentators each dark passage shun, And hold their farthing candle to the sun!

There are people who are so presumptuous that they know no other way to praise a greatness that they publicly admire than by representing it as a preliminary stage and bridge leading to themselves.

The popcorn button on the microwave is a miraculous invention. More miraculous than even the microwave itself.

Dating or finding someone is the last thing on my mind.
