When a man says to me, "I have the intensest love of nature," at once I know that he has none.
I don't feel that I have anything to say beyond moral truisms.
Sentimentality is intolerable because it is false feeling.
I'm a strong nonbeliever in the Christmas letter where you don't really read it because it's just full of kind of meaningless information. It doesn't really resonate to the person reading it, but it means so much to the person that wrote it.
Id rather have a fake smile than a nasty stare.
I cannot bring myself to vote for a woman who has been voice-trained to speak to me as though my dog has just died.
Oh, it's lovely to see you!' Franny said as the cab moved off. 'I've missed you.' The words were no sooner out than she realized that she didn't mean them at all.
These days what's not worth saying gets set to music.
