“Talleyrand said that two things are essential in life: to give good dinners and to keep on fair terms with women.

—M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)
“Stupid word, that. Period. In America it means full stop like in punctuation. Thats stupid as well. A period isnt a full stop. Its a new beginning. I dont mean all that creativity, life-giving force, earth-mother stuff, I mean its a new beginning to the month, relief that youre not pregnant, when you dont have to have a child.”
—Michelene Wandor (b. 1940)
