Words are never 'only words'; they matter because they define the contours of what we can do.

Indifference to me$$$ is the epitome of all evil.

Ladies who play with fire must remember that smoke gets in their eyes.

I'll say things that are serious and put them in a joke form so people can enjoy them. We laugh to keep from crying.

Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.
