“A strange age of the world this, when empires, kingdoms, and republics come a-begging to a private man’s door, and utter their complaints at his elbow!

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Simone Clouseau: Jacques would make a wonderful father. He has many redeeming qualities, you know.

Simone Clouseau: Oh, he’s kind, loyal, faithful, obedient.
Sir Charles: You’re either married to a boy scout or a dachshund.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
