Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to weave. — Mignon McLaughlin

"We catch frightful glimpses of ourselves in the hostile eyes of others."

"A critic can only review the book he has read, not the one which the writer wrote."

"Did that leave an undesirable taste in your mouth? Let’s take a swig."

"Revenge leads to an empty fullness, like eating dirt."

"To smoke or not to smoke: I can make of either a life work."

"What we forgive too freely doesn’t stay forgiven."
