"A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat."
"The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also."
"Name the greatest of all inventors. Accident."
"One should never use exclamation points in writing. It is like laughing at your own joke."
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
