“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”

“A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory.”

“A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the banjo and doesn't.”
