    Life is too short to stuff a mushroom.
    Shirley Conran (b. 1932)

    The glories of our blood and state
    Are shadows, not substantial things;
    There is no armour against fate;
    Death lays his icy hand on kings:
    Sceptre and crown
    Must tumble down,
    And in the dust be equal made
    With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)

    I make no secret of the fact that I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. But you have to be efficient if you’re going to be lazy.
    —Shirley Conran (b. 1932)
