    A little bad taste is like a nice dash of paprika.

    I don't care what is written about me so long as it isn't true.

    Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common.

    I like to have a martini,
    Two at the very most.
    After three I'm under the table,
    after four I'm under my host.

    This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

    Effie's favorite is:
    If wild my breast and sore my pride,
    I bask in dreams of suicide,
    If cool my heart and high my head
    I think "How lucky are the dead."

    That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment.

    I think Nessa knows Effie too well. Where's the Nervine?

    From her Best written piece:
    I'd love to dance with you, I'd LOVE to dance with you", meaning: Get off my instep you hulking peasant!
