After a day of careless depravity, I go to sleep by force of gravity.

Because I run it does not mean I am not out of breath; my courage comes from being scared to death.

If you are wearing a pair of shoes which hurt you, after a short time you will get accustomed to them and pain will cease. Never take them off unless you mean to discard them completely, for, if you put them on again, they will hurt you terribly where you are already bruised.

I took my laundry out to iron— quite a natural thing to do— it had been crumpled for much too long and I hoped I could make it look like new.

And what do you think they said to me, as though I were doing wrong somehow; “What is the matter? What are you doing? What is the reason? Why do you have to? Why do you iron your laundry now?”

I’ve put my laundry back in a bundle, nothing could make me try any more; but it’s not my fault if they find tomorrow more of a mess than there was before—

And I'll go, right now, to the end of the street and buy myself a brand-new sheet.

If you put all your eggs in one basket, at least you will have a basket full of eggs.

I’m robbing Peter to pay Paul, a tactical error I’ve made— for Peter has simply missed nothing at all, and Paul does not really want to be paid.

Take your chance when it comes your way; take it today, not tomorrow. Take it whether you like it or not and if you can’t pay for it, borrow.

I’m riding for a fall and I know it and I don’t care at all and I show it.

I’m riding for a fall with an awful clatter; but if it didn’t hurt at all, would it matter?
